Spring Loaded Lock Connector

Spring-loaded Lock Connector

Some SRS system connectors have a spring-loaded lock.




Disconnecting
To release the lock, pull the spring-loaded sleeve (A) toward the stop (B) while holding the opposite half of the connector. Then pull the connector halves apart. Be sure to pull on the sleeve and not on the connector.

Connecting




1. To reconnect, hold the pawl-side connector, and press on the back of the sleeve-side connector in the direction shown. As the two connector halves are pressed together, the sleeve (A) is pushed back by the pawl (C). Do not touch the sleeve.




2. When the connector halves are completely connected, the pawl is released, and the spring-loaded sleeve locks the connector.
