CONTACT INSERTION
STEP 1: Remove hardware from plug or

against the contact shoulder.
STEP 3: Press tool against contact shoulder
and, with firm and even pressure, insert wired
contact and tool tip into center contact cavity.
STEP 4: When contact bottoms, a slight “click” can
be heard as tines of metal retaining clip snap into place
behind contact shoulder.
STEP 6: After all contacts are inserted, fill
any empty cavities with wire sealing plugs.
Reassemble plug or receptacle hardware.
STEP 5: Remove tool and pull back lightly on wire
to make sure contact is properly seated. Repeat
operation with remainder of contacts to be inserted,
beginning with the center cavity and working outward
in alternating rows.
CONTACT EXTRACTION
STEP 1: Remove hardware from plug or
receptacle and slide hardware back along
wire bundle.
STEP 2: Using plastic or metal extraction
tool with proper color code corresponding to
contact size, place wire in tool.
STEP 3: Insert tool into contact cavity until
