CAUTION

Be careful not to over-extend the locking ramp. If the 

end of the locking ramp is raised too much, it will NOT 

return to its original position; and the receptacle housing 

must be discarded.

5. While holding the locking ramp in position, gently 
pull back on the wire until the contact is free. See 
Figure 3. If the contact does not pull out freely, push 
it back into the receptacle housing, and repeat the 
extraction procedure.

CAUTION

DO NOT pull the wire in a harsh manner. If the locking 

ramp is not raised enough to clear the contact locking 

window, the locking ramp will be cut or sheared (see 

Figure 3). If the locking ramp is cut or sheared, discard 

the receptacle housing. The contacts may be removed 

and re-used.

CAUTION

DO NOT raise the locking ramp to check for damage; 

instead, after inserting a contact into that contact cavity, 

pull back on the wire to ensure that the locking ramp has 

engaged the contact locking window. If the contact pulls 

out, the locking ramp has been damaged.

4. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR

The contacts, receptacle housing, and contact retainer 
are not repairable. DO NOT used damaged or 
defective product.
