Unpin female contacts from coupling (SLK)
1. Insert blade holder with clamping pliers and an SLK 2.8 blade from the front side through the
openings in the contact cavity of the coupling (1).
This results in the spring shackles (2) being compressed.
2. A slight tug on the corresponding line will remove the female contact from the coupling.
Rocking the contact pin back and forth, thus making use of the full housing tolerance, may help to
unpin the contact.
