The primary lock is the locking mechanism of one individual crimp contact in terminal housing.

If necessary, housing securing mechanisms (secondary locks) must be released or removed using specified tool before releasing the contacts.

The shapes of the primary locks depicted in the following are only a selection which, as an example, should make clear the various functions of the secondary lock.
- Round connector systems.
- Flat connector systems.
- Special connector systems.

The application of the correct release tools to the respective locks can be found in the table in user instructions for VAS 1978/35.
