Removal
WARNING
Switch off the electricity to the machine. Refer to GP 14. Disconnect the power cord
from the customer supply while performing tasks that do not need electricity. Electricity
can cause death or injury. Moving parts can cause injury.
NOTE: Molex connectors have small black housings in single and double row form with minia-
ture square section pins and sockets.
1. If the damaged connector is in the centre of a double row housing beneath the latching
clip, the latching prong will not be accessible to release the connector from the housing.
Therefore it will be necessary to disassemble the housing as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 Disassembling the connector.
2. Figure 2. Remove the terminal from the connector housing using the Molex extractor tool.
Figure 2 Removing the terminal.
3. Cut off the damaged terminal, then strip 3 mm of insulation from the end of the wire.
Replacement
1. Select the correct replacement terminal, and identify the appropriate crimp positions for
the terminal.
2. Figure 3. Insert a male or female terminal into the appropriate position of the crimp tool
and close the tool just enough to hold the terminal.
