Step 1: Using the 1.50 mm service tool #63813-1500, insert the tip into the terminal
service hole adjacent to the terminal to be serviced.
Step 2: Push straight down gently and apply pressure to release locking finger. This
motion will release the locking finger, “picking” is not required. Cavity plugs are
removed in the same manner.
Do not apply any lateral force, this may damage the tool, or the locking finger!
Do not use excessive force, excessive force can damage the lock finger!
Do not insert the service tool at an angle, this may cause damage to the
terminal!

Section 6: Electrical Continuity Checking
Fixtures that may come in contact with the perimeter seal must have the
interface lead-in geometry as defined on the USCAR and/or Molex
interface drawing
Fixtures used for continuity testing must meet the row and pitch
dimensions as identified in Section 6.
Fixtures outside these requirements could result in damage to the
connector and/or terminal.
Probe pin recommendations:
1. When testing the connector for continuity it is imperative that you do not
damage the terminals!
2. Pogo pins should be checked for damage or sticking several times a shift.
This should assure containment if an issue is found.
3. First a visual inspection of all the pins for damage should be performed.
4. Next a testing block should be used to depress all the pogo pins up into
the barrel. If there is a bent or sticking pin, it should remain stuck in the barrel
of the pogo pin. A damaged or stuck pin should be replaced before any
additional testing is performed.
Probing damage can occur:
1. If a sharp ended probe is inserted into the contact of the terminal it may
damage the plating and increase contact resistance
2. If an oversized diameter probe is inserted into the terminal, this will
overstress the beam in the terminal. This will create an environment for
intermittent connections, and increased contact resistance.
3. If a probe is inserted into the connector on an angle or off center it may
damage the terminal, and or the connector.
