General usage instructions
Separate
No special tools required. Use ordinary parallel jaw
pliers to separate the connector into two parts.
Hold one side of connector with pliers and bend
opposite side back and forth until parts separate
(see Fig. 1).
Caution: Be careful not to pinch fingers or thumb when separating parts.
Keep fingers out of bend path when bending part against plier jaws.
Installation
1. Strip the insulation from each de-energized
conductor. Be careful not to nick the conductor.
Clean the conductor ends with a wire brush or
emery cloth if necessary.
2. Place each conductor into the grooves in body
piece. Press conductors with pliers to align
and seat into grooves (see Fig. 2).
3. Hold the conductors and body piece until it
stops. Use parallel jaw pliers and grip the snap
and body pieces as shown (see Fig. 3). Apply
pressure until connector “snaps” into place.
Visually inspect snap to verify full insertion.
The connection is now complete (see Fig. 4).
Removal
The connector can be disassembled using a
flat-head screwdriver to pry the snap piece
from body piece.
