ISSUE:
Beginning 1/3/94 revised design ICM connectors are being used after the old style connectors are exhausted. The revised connector has a new seal and
new design for better retention. Although the connectors are interchangeable, they pull apart differently.
ACTION:
If service is required, be aware of the new design when taking the ICM connector apart.
^
The previous style connector had a split beam that had to be pushed "down" while the connector was being pulled off. The word "PUSH" is
embossed on the end of the split beam, Figure 1.
