is there a trick to get male (pin shape) connector to stay locked in place? Installed 3 sets female locks in, but male comes out after snap

The only problem I had was to get the pins to "snap" into the housing properly. It requires quite a bit of force to snap them in. There are several videos on youtube and I recommend watching some of them. After assembly I have had no problem connecting and separating the housing (connectors).

Did not notice that problem, as long as the hooks goes over the latch and snap in, it should stay in just have make sure it's pushing all the way

Just make sure that they are aligned male and female and push in all the way and they should lock and require a tool to use in order to get them apart again i had no problems with the ones i have J.A.W.

Make sure the wire is crimped correctly.. No slack or parts of it sticking out of the crimp. Make sure thr pin is pushed all the way into the connector. There should be a noticeable "click" (you may not hear it but should feel it click into place.) if it doesn't seat properly, pull out the pin and rotate it a bit... 1/4 turn... And reinsert it. That should work.

check to see if your wire is 10 guage. Make sure that you have the insert with the smallest pin in the female connector

It isn't easy to secure but this is what I've done: Put the lower circular connectors on top of one another so they are together. The top parts then go together by pushing the part that sticks up into the groove on the edge of the other side. They then are locked in place.

I have no idea. I just looked at all of my pins and they seem to be there. You might have received a defective cable.

A small tool is provided with the needles to tighten the screws. If you use this tool, you shouldn't have any problems with them coming loose from the cables. These needles are fabulous! I have had no problem with them coming loose as long as I use the tool to tighten the connection. Good luck!

Hi, I dismantled it using a screw driver to pop the little pin heads in, and then to pop them back out. Annoying but I did it to take it apart and put it together again.

You haven't rotated the alignment slots together, line them up and the locking pin will secure top and bottom, you of course must rotate the tritium to the correct side!

Make sure the connector is completely locked onto the board on the inside. This happened to me and I just pushed down harder on the connectors.

Pull back on the front edges of the female connector and put the male connector in and let go.

I had the same problem, I changed the battery (It's a CR2032 'button' battery.... available online for about 40 cents each) Once I put a fresh battery in it was fine. That was just a week ago, so I'll see how it goes. If it acts up again I will move the pins to channel 2 or 3 (less crowded area). Keep me posted, Don

well, are you sure you are inserting it correctly and then setting the combination? These things are a little fiddly, you have to insert them just the right way, pressing the button on the end while you do it I think? (Sorry, mine is not here, it is at work so I can't double check). I think it is press the button, insert to slot, let go button, move combo numbers, should stick. If not maybe your slot is damaged?

It happened with me also, I started watching for the pin to start drifting out of place and any time that I noticed it starting to happen I used a pliers to push it back into place. I suppose that if it gets worse you could use a drop of super glue to secure It in place.

Just follow the instructions that came in the box, but the connectors don't fit flush on the bottom layer squares. The two bottom holes go on the wires leaving the two top holes of the connector above the square. Thats where you can attach the next layer of the squares. Honestly i have to refer to the instructions each time i make them so i would hold on to them as long as possible or download another set, which they should be online or there should be a tutorial on youtube. Just beware you can pinch your fingers pretty awful in them.

I had the same problem. It is very easy to get an XLR cable stuck, which did not happen with any other equipment I used. Unfortunately mine came off after breaking the locking mechanism.

Mine does the same thing. If you push in all the way and move connector around, it might work.

same here... you can get a locking type adapter from Lowes or Home Depot,... or tear off a small piece of plastic or tape and jam it into the damn thing... That's whaput a piece of plastic or tape over the but end of the bit and shove it in the driver...t

The 8-pin connector slides apart into two 4-pin connectors, only one of which fits in the 4-pin connector on the board. I simply tied the other half up out of the way. Works fine.
