480 METRI-PACK CONNECTOR REPAIR
General
A 480 Metri-Pack (P.E.D.) connector is frequently used for the
B+ (battery voltage) connector to power P&A accessories.
Referred to as Packard connectors, Metri-Pack connectors are
embossed with the initials P.E.D.
See
Figure
A-38. An AFL housing (5) is used on many igni-
tion/light switches. The secondary lock (4) must be opened
before removing the terminal from the housing.
Separating Pin and Socket Housings
NOTE
Cut any cable strap anchoring the wire conduits of the pin
(accessory connector housing) and the socket (B+) housing.
See
Figure
A-38. Using small flat blade screwdriver, press
button (1) on pin housing (red wire) side of the connector and
pull apart the pin and socket housings.
Mating Pin and Socket Housings
Orient the latch on the socket housing to the button catch on
the pin housing and press the housings together.
Removing Socket Terminals
1.
See
Figure
A-38. Bend back the latch (2) slightly and free
one side of secondary lock, then repeat to release the
opposite side. Rotate the secondary lock outward on hinge
to access terminal in chamber of connector housing.
2.
On the mating end of the connector, note the tang in the
square shaped opening centered next to the terminal.
Gently insert the point of a stick pin or large safety pin into
the opening (3) between the tang and the chamber wall
until it stops.
3.
Pivot the end of the pin toward the terminal body to press
the tang.
4.
Remove the pin and then pull terminal out of the wire end
of connector housing.

Installing Socket Terminals
1.

in place.
TERMINALS.
3.
Verify that terminal will not back out of the chamber. A
slight tug on the cable will confirm that it is locked.
4.
Rotate the hinged secondary lock inward until latches fully
engage tabs on both sides of connector housing.
NOTE
If removed, install new anchored cable strap in O.E. location.
Tighten cable strap to capture conduit of both accessory con-
nector and B+ connector approximately 1.0 in. (25.4 mm) from
housings.
