●Procedure

 Sectioned drawing of the housing

1. The connector could be damaged if it is pulled out forcibly. When it is hard to pull out, push it in slightly first and then depress

the lock and un- mate.

2. When thick, short sections of wire are used, the connector could be deformed due to the force of the wires’ position. Route

cables in such a way that they do not twist when being installed.

3. Make sure to turn off the power when mating or un-mating the connector.

4. Please do not touch any area around the contact part with your hand when the power is on; it could be very dangerous.

5. Please contact our Sales Department about the assembly procedure and the instruction manual.

Please avoid using the device above the rated values. Also, do not insert or pull out energized or “ live” wires.

Please contact us if you are designing this connector into environmental conditions where high and low temperatures

are repeated.

Due to any previous repairs, the strength of the lance could have been compromised. Hirose recommends the

use of a new crimp housing to assure proper performance.

1. After unmating the parts,

position the screwdriver to

raise the lance as shown in

the illustration.

2. The lance needs to be

raised sufficiently to allow the

terminated wire to slip past it.

The lance needs to be held

up while at the same time

pulling on the wire.

Caution

Please be very careful when removing the contact

work so that you don’t become injured by the

protruding part of the crimp contact.

Before attempting to remove any contacts,
