AMPSEAL 16 Connector Overview & Assembly Instructions (English)

Learn about our heavy-duty AMPSEAL 16 connectors that are designed to help prevent moisture and dirt from contaminating connections. Watch this video for an overview of the connectors and for step-by-step instructions on inserting and removing contacts, as well as mating and unmating.

Contact Insertion

  1. Grasp crimped contact approximately one inch behind the contact barrel.
  2. Verify the PLR is in the pre-staged position, unlocked.
  3. Align the contact with the desired circuit cavity at the rear of the housing assembly.
  4. Push the contact straight into the connector cavity until the contact retention finger returns to its normal position behind the retention shoulder on the contact. A slight tug will verify the contact is locked in place.
  5. When all of the required contacts have been inserted, push the PLR into the fully locked position.

Contact Removal

  1. Insert the removal tool into the PLR extraction slot and pull until the PLR is completely removed from the housing.
  2. Insert the tool into the contact cavity and deflect the contact retention finger.
  3. Gently pull the wire until the contact is free from the housing.
