How do I release and unplug the white JST PH connector end of cable inserted into a Victron device (e.g., a Victron MPPT). The cable is a DIY cable used to connect a Cerbo GX to a Victron device in lieu of using an OEM Victron VE. Direct to USB Interface cable.
.
Google has been of little or no help.
When I plugged the connector into the MPPT, I heard a click when the plug was fully inserted.
Afterwards, I tried to unplug the cable from the MPPT, but I encountered strong resistance. I am afraid to pull too hard for fear of damaging the MPPPT connector. My understanding is that these connectors are somewhat frail.
I have read that there are nubs on the side of either the male or the female connector (not sure which connector) that need to be released. However, the connector is small and it is difficult to see the inside edges of the connectors.
Does anyone have any removal tips?
