Secondary Lock

‹› The secondary lock is a housing securing mechanism (second locking mechanism) that secures all wires in one connector housing. If a secondary

lock is installed at a connector housing, it must always be opened or removed using specified tool before releasing and pulling out individual crimp
contacts.

‹› Secondary lock is distinguished by a different color from the rest of the connector housing. It simplifies recognizing the secondary lock and

clarifies its function.

‹› The shapes of the connector housings depicted here are only a selection which, as an example, should make clear the various functions of the

secondary lock.
