CONTACT
RETAINER CLIP
Install contact into connector.
Push the contact
through the rear grommet until the contact
locks into place. This can usually be done by hand
without the need for a tool. If the wire gage is #26
or smaller, a tool is helpful. There are two techniques
for installing contacts with a tool. One method is to
push the contact in by hand, then use the tool to
finish the insertion. The other method is to position
the insertion tip against the contact shoulder,
then insert the contact. Use insertion/extraction
tool 809-088 to install contacts. Slide the wire into
the groove on the blue end of the tool. Slide the
tool tip up the contact until it touches the contact
shoulder.
USE CARE TO AVOID DAMAGING THE
CONNECTOR.
Contact Extraction.
Use tool 809-088. The white
end is used for contact extraction. First, push
the wire into the groove of the metal tip. Slide the
tip of the tool into the connector. Push the tool into
the connector cavity until the tip bottoms in the
connector. Avoid wiggling or rocking the tip. This may
damage the cavity. A straight push is best. Pinch the
wire between your finger and the white plastic grip
and slide the tool and contact out of the connector.
Wire insulation diameter greater than 0.045
inches (1.14mm) is too large to work properly
with the extraction tool. connector damage is
possible.
