the external latch(es) (1) on the socket housing (2) while
rocking the pin (3) and socket housings.
NOTES
Generally, the socket housing is found on the accessory

ness.
Two-, three-, four- and six-place Deutsch connectors have
one latch on the connector.
Eight- and twelve-place connectors have a latch on each
side. Simultaneously press both latches to separate the
connector.
Mating Pin and Socket Housings

For One External Latch: Two-, three-, four- and six-
place Deutsch connectors have one external latch on
the socket half of the connector. To fit the halves of
the connector together, the latch on the socket side
must be aligned with the latch cover on the pin side.
b.
For Two External Latches: (8-place and 12-place)
Align the tabs on the socket housing with the grooves
on the pin housing.
2.
Insert socket housing into pin housing until it snaps or
clicks into place.
For Two External Latches: (8-place and 12-place) If
latches do not click (latch), press on one side of the con-
nector until that latch engages, then press on the opposite
side to engage the other latch.
