housing.
Simply take a small flathead screwdriver and use
it to lift the hook of the Anderson pin up and away
from the ledge inside the housing.
You can then pull on the wire and remove the pin
from the housing.
Because of this process you may actually end up
bending the hook upwards and it will sometimes
stay that way. In order to then reuse the pin in a
housing you will need to gently bend the hook
down until it is inline with the barrel of the
housing. |
Even before I saw the last paragraph about bending the hook, I knew the instructions for removing the pin were wrong. You shouldn't pry the pin up. You just need to push down the spring (referred to in the document as the "ledge") in order to release the pin and let it be pulled out. This is true for the small Anderson connectors and for the large SB50 battery connectors.
