PACKARD 150 METRI-PACK CONNECTORS
150 METRI-PACK CONNECTOR REPAIR
General
Metri-Pack connectors are embossed with the initials (P.E.D.).
There are two types of connectors in this series:
Pull-to-Seat
Push-to-Seat
Separating Pin and Socket Housings
Bend back the external latch slightly and separate the pin and
socket halves of the connector.
Mating Pin and Socket Housings
Align the wire colors and push the pin and socket halves of the
connector together.
Removing Socket Terminal
1.
See
Figure A-34
for pull-to-seat connector or
for push to seat connector. Remove wire lock (1) from wire
end of socket housing on push-to-seat type connectors.
NOTE
For best results, free one side of wire lock first and then release
the other side.
2.
Find the locking tang in the mating end of the connector.
NOTE
The tangs are always positioned in the middle of the chamber
and are on the same side as the external latch.
3.
Gently insert a safety pin into the chamber about 1/8 in.
(3.2 mm).
a.
For pull-to-seat: Stay between the terminal and the
chamber wall and pivot the end of the pin toward the
terminal body.
b.
For push-to-seat: There is a small opening for the
pin.
4.
When a click is heard, remove the pin and repeat the
procedure.
NOTE
The click is the sound of the tang returning to the locked posi-
tion as it slips from the point of the pin.
5.
Pick at the tang until the clicking stops and the pin seems
to slide in deeper than it had previously. This is an indica-
tion that the tang has been depressed.
NOTE
On those terminals that have been extracted on multiple
occasions, the click may not be heard, but pivot the pin as if
the click was heard at least 3 times.
6.
Remove the pin.
a.
For pull-to-seat: Push on the lead to extract the ter-
minal from the mating end of the connector.
b.
For push-to-seat: Pull on the lead to draw the ter-
minal out the wire end.

Inserting Socket Terminal
For wire location purposes, alpha characters are stamped into
the socket housings.
1.
See
Figure A-34
for push to seat connector. Using a thin flat blade, like that
on a hobby knife, carefully bend the tang outward away
from the terminal body.
2.
Gently pull or push on the lead to install the terminal back
into the chamber. A click is heard when the terminal is
properly seated.
3.
Gently pull or push on the lead to verify that the terminal
is locked in place.
For push-to-seat: See
channels of wire lock and then push channels inside
chambers at wire end of socket housing. Fully installed,
slot on each side of wire lock engages ear on socket
