Secondary Lock
The secondary lock is a housing securing mechanism (second locking mechanism) that secures all wires in one 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 contacts.
Secondary lock is distinguished by a different color from the rest of the contact housing. It simplifies recognizing the secondary lock and clarifies its
