Contact Insertion
NOTE: As a general rule, all square quick disconnect fittings will have an orange wedge lock inserted at this
time. Place in correct alignment and push into connector grommet until a positive snap is felt.
Contact Removal:
NOTE: If orange wedge lock is in place (Square Connectors), the wedge lock must be removed. Using a
small screwdriver, pry the orange wedge lock out of connector grommet.
Grasp the contact-wire
assembly between the
thumb and forefinger on
the wire approximately
one inch behind the crimp
barrel.
Hold the connector with the
rear grommet facing you.
Push the contact straight into the
connector grommet until a positive
stop is felt. The retaining fingers in
the connector will snap behind the
shoulder of the contact and lock it
in place. A slight tug will confirm
that it is properly sealed.
With rear insert toward you, snap
the appropriate size plastic tool over
the wire of the contact to be
removed.
Slide the tool along the wire into the
insert cavity until it engages the
contact and resistance is felt. The
contact retaining clip will be in the
unlocked position.
Pull the contact-wire assembly out
of the connector.
