Abstract
Die sets and methods are provided to move a separable clasp connector back-and-forth among a locked position and an unlocked position. The method can include the steps of obtaining a first part and a second part each having a connector body and a connector barrel; interconnecting the connector bodies of the first and second parts without locking the first and second parts to one another; and pivoting the first and second parts with respect to one another in a first direction until the first and second parts are mechanically and electrically connected to one another.
