Figure 1-7 - Weather-Pack Terminal Repair
Weather-Pack Connectors
Figure 1-7
Figure 1-7 shows a Weather-Pack connector and the
tool (J 28742 or equivalent) required to service it. This
tool is used to remove the pin and sleeve terminals. If
terminal removal is attempted without using the special
tool required, there is a good chance that the terminal
will be bent or deformed, and unlike standard blade type
terminals, these terminals cannot be straightened once
they are bent.
Make certain that the connectors are properly seated and
all of the sealing rings in place when connecting leads.
The hinge-type fl ap provides a secondary locking feature
for the connector. It improves the connector reliability by
retaining the terminals if the small terminal lock tangs are
not positioned properly. Weather-Pack connections cannot
be replaced with standard connections.
