I've struggled with this connector for more than 10 minutes.. and before I break it (more), I'd thought I'd reach out.

See pic. There is typical push down lock in the middle (little broken now but functional). I can get a good press on that, but connector not releasing. I see two orange tabs on either side.. thin weak things. They were extended all the way to edge of connector. I've managed to push them in a bit.. still no go.

Anyone know what I'm missing?

 

NM.. is just center tab. Need to pull connector apart with a little more effort. Orange tabs are purely decorative.

 

If it makes yo feel any better, I've been a little more than scared with some of the other connectors because they took a considerable amount of effort to get them apart.

 

Pretty sure the orange tabs are locking tabs . Try with them both pulled back as far as possible before trying to release the central grey tab. Or maybe they have to be all the way in I can’t remember.


ammendment:
OK now i remember, they are locking tabs for inserting/ retaining each individual wire pins so not relevant to unhooking the connector.
