INSTALLING SOCKET/PIN
TERMINALS
NOTE
For wire location purposes, numbers are stamped into the
secondary locks of both the socket and pin housings.
1. See Figure 7-51. From the secondary lock side of the
connector, insert the terminal into its respective num-
bered chamber until it snaps in place. For proper fit, the
slot in the terminal must face the tang in the chamber.
NOTE
The tang in the chamber engages the slot to lock the terminal
in position. On the pin side of the connector, tangs are posi-
tioned at the bottom of each chamber, so the slot in the pin
terminal (on the side opposite the crimp tails) must face
downward. On the socket side, tangs are at the top of each
chamber, so the socket terminal slot (on the same side as the
crimp tails) must face upward. Up and down can be deter-
mined by the position of the release button (used to separate
the pin and socket halves), the button always being the top of
the connector.
2. Gently tug on wire end to verify that the terminal is locked
in place and will not back out of chamber.
3. Rotate the hinged secondary lock inward until tabs fully
engage latches on both sides of connector.
4. Insert the socket housing (plug) into the pin housing
(receptacle) until it snaps in place.
5. Secure wiring harness with new cable straps.
