And here is my follow-up question... Is there an *easy*
way to get the cover
off of a DIN plug without making anymore new scars in my fingers?
At least the ones I've worked with, there is a small locking tab on the
casing (kind of like a finger that drops into a hole). I stick a small
flat blade screwdriver under that, and then push the cable (and connector
by proxy) out. If there isn't a cable attached already, then I stick a
screwdriver (usually philips) into the end where the cable would go, and
push the insides out.
