The APP spec sheet provides mating/unmating force as 2-5 lbf. It's the same.

I think what Don was referring to is that a PAIR of APPs--the way we
typically use them--can take up to 10 lbf to unmate (or mate) which is
consistent with the spec sheet, though at the high end.

I believe Don was saying that it takes about 10lbs of force to properly seat
the APP contact into the housing. It takes more force to seat the contact in
the housing than to pull the mated contact apart. If it didn't work like that
the connector would fall apart when you disconnect it.
