To remove a depin connector, first remove the front cap. This will reveal the pin catches. Then, with a depin tool, lift the catches up away from the terminals. Then, you can pull the wire that corresponds to each terminal. It is important that you lift up the catches at the same time as you pull the wire.
Remove front cap from depin connector
The first step in de-pining a connector is to remove the front cap. This green covering is usually removable using a de-pin tool. This will expose the pin catches on the connector. Next, use the tool to lift the catches away from the terminals. Pull the wire corresponding to the corresponding terminal while lifting up the catch.
Remove insulation back
When you're ready to strip the insulation back on a depin connector, you need to make sure that the bare wire is at least 1/4 inch away from the connector. To do this, you need to use a wire stripper. This is an instrument that is designed to cut away the insulation on copper wire.
Crimp on new terminals
To install new terminals in a depin connector, use a crimp tool to crimp the pins on the connector. Make sure that the new pins face up and are oriented correctly. Then, push them back into the connector and then check visually to see that they are seated. When you have completed this step, snap the secondary retainer back into the connector.
Place new ends into existing plug
The first step in replacing an old depin connector is to remove the existing ends and plug in the new ones. To remove the old ends, take a screwdriver and unscrew the orange wedge locks on the plug side. You can do this by twisting the screwdriver in the right direction. When the wedge locks are disassembled, you can pull back the wire/contact assembly and release the wires.
