[Elecraft] K2/100 DC power connector

[Stan Rife]

	I just use one of the small pocket screwdrivers to work up under the
very end of the connector and get it between the connector and the locking
tab in the shell. Then pull on the wire from the back. Takes a little
fiddling but it works for me.

There is an extraction tool to do this, supplied with the Anderson Power
Pole kits. The tool is of thin steel, shaped (sort of half moon) to fit
around the wire crimped in the power pole connector. It slipped in
underneath the wire and connector releasing the retainer spring inside the
plastic housing. You could then slide the wire and connector from the
housing.
You could try a stiff thin piece of steel or brass, if you can insert it,
from the rear (wire side), in such a way to release the retainer, the
connector will slide from the housing with a gentle tug.

Hey, I'm just about to power-up my fully built K2/100
mod and... snapped the RED DC power connector onto the
BLACK wire. This is the external DC power cable &
connector.

So, is there an easy way to extract the pin from the
housing to reverse these? I've never seen this
connector before and it doesn't look friendly to mods.
