My PedalBox is 2013 vintage which is one of the early ones that had the nightmare grey connectors.
What happens is the connector itself has a vice like grip which is a good thing as it sure as hell won’t pop off on the move, but the little release toggle couldn’t handle the spring and failed.
Later DTUK boxes had a revised clip which was supposedly far more robust.
Once my clip failed the connector could still be easily and quickly removed by inserting a small flat blade screwdriver into the connector sleeve from the bottom which releases the clip and the two halves slide apart.
If you want to try mine FOC to see how you get on with one drop me a line Michele
