Minelab Relic Hawk Coil Connection

[ls4s]

Hi can any one tell me how to access this coil connection plug as i think i have a loose wire

The connector type number/designation is marked on it, you could probably track down some assembly drawings / exploded-view type of info with some effort. That would give a clue as to what needs doing.
Based on what I see, I reckon a three-pronged tool needs to be inserted into the three slots inside the business end of the connector,  probably unscrewing a right-handed thread. Eventually it can be pulled forwards, and those slots will just clear the three pins protruding inside the sleeve.

I like Pimento's thought on this. 

I thought I'd soldered on every connector there was ! That's a new one for me..it looks like maybe Amphenol brand.

You might also have to release the cable clamping part ...set screws are common (use a magnetized driver / wrench and don't drop one on the floor , they turn invisible !) 😏

OH ...If a set screw won't come all the way out , try turning it IN .....

Can you post a picture of a side view of the connector?

That looks like an older microphone connector of which the base will come off.

But there is a way to take them apart, the center will come out once the base is off of it.

I just can't see where the unit comes apart, as some of those the base simply unscrewed while holding the center barrel tight. Then there were some with screws on the base that were loosened with set screws.

So, now you've worked out how to open / reassemble the connector, why are you now searching for a new coil?

Good job, I thought that was the correct way to be able to work on it.

I have had to do similar for some connectors on equipment that I use .

Hope that you are able to fix your problem.
