NOTES
●
Generally, the socket housing is found on the accessory
side, while the pin housing is plumbed to the wiring har-
ness.

side. Simultaneously press both latches to separate the
connector.
Mate Housings
1. Align the connectors to match the wire lead colors.
For One External Latch:
Two-, three-, four- and six-
place Deutsch connectors have one external latch on the
socket half of the connector. To fit the halves of the con-
nector together, the latch on the socket side must be
aligned with the latch cover on the pin side.
For Two External Latches:
(8-place and 12-place) Align
the tabs on the socket housing with the grooves on the
pin housing.
2. Insert socket housing into pin housing until it snaps or
clicks into place.
For Two External Latches:
(8-place and 12-place) If
latches do not click (latch), press on one side of the con-
nector until that latch engages, then press on the oppo-
site side to engage the other latch.
3. If necessary, fit the attachment clip to the pin housing.
4. Place large end of slot on attachment clip over T-stud on
