Installation & Replacement Notes
Installing the PLD Small Plug 16-Pin AMP Connector is straightforward when using the correct tools. We recommend using our Terminal Removal Tool – 2mm & 3mm for clean extraction and reinsertion of the terminals. Correct crimping and sealing ensure long-term reliability, especially in harsh operating environments found on Actros, Axor, Atego, Fuso, and Bell trucks.
