ADVANTAGES OF REAR INSERTION-FRONT RELEASE

CONTACT RETENTION SYSTEM
CONSIDERATION FRONT RELEASE ADVANTAGE
1. Size Will accept a wire with oversized insulation diameter.

Less open wiring is required between the connector and the lacing or between the connector and the
2. Connector Wiring cable jacket. Minimum service time is required for repairs.
Provides the most effective RFI shielding as the shielding can be brought closer to the grommet surface
3. Shielded Wires
for terminations to the connector shell.

4. Contact Servicing Since the removal tool is inserted from the front, finding the correct position is relatively simple.

The standard removal tool can be used to remove a contact which has a broken wire at the contact crimp
5. Wire Breakage
joint.

6. Service Tools Metal tools are available for inserting and removing contacts.
