Typical Pull-to-seat Connector And Terminal
Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors. The steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ,
but the repair steps are similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.
Step 1:
Remove any Connector Position Assurance (CPA) Locks . CPAs are designed to retain connectors when mated.
Step 2:
Remove any Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal from backing out of the connector.
NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the terminal is repaired and reseated.
Step 3:
Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the connector.
Step 4:
Separate the connector halves and back out seals.
Step 5:
Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.
Step 6:
Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.
Step 7:
Insert the proper size pick (refer to Terminal Repair kit J 38125-A) straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.
Step 8:
Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal.
