## Discrepancy

(CAN) THIS CONNECTOR HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE EASILY DAMAGED WHEN IT IS REQUIRED TO REMOVE OR INSERT A CONTACT IN IT. NEW REPLACEMENT PARTS OFTEN ARRIVE DAMAGED AS WELL. WHILE NOT A PROBLEM IN TYPICAL OPERATION IT DOES ALLOW FOR THE POSSIBILITY AT THE TERMINAL BEING HELD IN PLACE ONLY BY THE SEALING COMPOUND. THERE IS A SPECIFIC TOOL FOR INSERTING THESE CONTACTS BUT EVEN WITH EXTREME CARE, IT IS VERY EASY TO DAMAGE THE CONNECTOR. CONNECTOR P/N 205042-1, 205043-1
