AMPSEAL Connector Overview & Assembly Instructions (English)

Learn about our rugged AMPSEAL connectors for cable-to-board harsh environment applications. 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. Check that the wedge lock of the plug assembly is in an open position. Align the contact with the applicable cavity.
  3. Insert the contact into the connector cavity until there is an audible or tactile click. A slight tug will verify the contact is locked in place.
  4. After all the contacts have been inserted, close the wedge lock by simultaneously squeezing locking latches inward and pushing the wedge lock into the housing.

Contact Removal

  1. Insert the tip of a screwdriver between the edge of the plug assembly housing and one corner of the wedge lock.
  2. Gently pry the edge of the wedge lock until it is released from (but not completely removed) the housing. Repeat these steps for the opposite corner of the wedge.
