All wires must be pushed firmly inside the contact wire openings. The wires must be
fully inserted so that the wire insulation is inserted between three and five millimeters
into the rear of the housing.
The required wire termination depth is achieved when the wire has bottomed in the
connector housing. Connector design has an internal wire stop.
A fully inserted wire can be extracted from the receptacle using a tool and the
release tool window located on the bottom of the receptacle housing. Using tool tip
that is 0.8mm x 1.4 mm in cross section and 16.0mm long, insert it into the window
(one per wire) and open the contact beams. The wire may then be extracted from the
connector along the axis of wire insertion direction.

DANGER:
Extreme caution to ensure there is no power in the system prior to insertion of wire extraction device.
Electrical shock or system damage can result if care is not taken.
CAUTION:
Extraction device to be free from burrs and sharp edges to ensure no damage is done to connector
terminals.
CAUTION:
A new stripped wire must be re-inserted into cavity after extraction of existing wire. DO NOT re-use
extracted wire.
