The application of the correct release tools to the respective locks can be found in the table in users instructions for Release Tool Set VAS1978/35.
Secondary lock
The secondary lock is a housing securing mechanism (second locking mechanism) that secures all wires in a terminal housing. If a secondary lock is
installed at a terminal housing, it must always be opened or removed using specified tool before releasing and pulling out individual crimp terminals.
Secondary lock is distinguished by a different color from the rest of the terminal housing. It simplifies recognizing the secondary lock and clarifies its
function.
The shapes of the terminal housings depicted here are only a selection which, as an example, should make clear the various functions of the secondary
lock.
