Spring-Loaded Lock Connector

Some SRS system connectors have a spring-loaded lock.

Disconnecting

To release the lock, pull the spring-loaded sleeve toward the stop while holding the opposite half of the connector. Then pull the connector halves apart.

NOTE:  Be sure to pull on the sleeve and not on the connector half itself.

Connecting

1. Hold the pawl-side connector half, and press on the back of the sleeve-side connector half in the direction shown. As the two connector halves are

pressed together, the sleeve is pushed back by the pawl.

NOTE:  Do not touch the sleeve.

2. When the connector halves are completely connected, the pawl is released, and the spring-loaded sleeve locks the connector.
