2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)
The extraction tool consists of a spring-loaded metal tip with an integral plunger mounted to a plastic handle
with an interlock lever. When the interlock lever is depressed, the plunger is held until the contact locking
lances are depressed by the tip.
After the lever is released, the plunger is released, permitting the contact to be pushed out the rear of the
housing.
3. EXTRACTION PROCEDURE (Figure 3)
NOTE
Before extracting coaxial contacts, use a small, sharp tool to remove the nylon alignment ring from the front of the contact.
1. Determine the contact to be removed and grasp the wire attached to that contact.
2. Move the contact forward as far as possible by pushing the wire toward the housing.
3. Depress the extraction tool interlock lever and insert the tip of the tool into the contact cavity in the
mating face of the housing. Make sure that the tip is completely bottomed in the cavity.
4. While holding the tool in position, release the interlock lever, then push the handle until the contact
backs out of the rear of the housing. The wire and contact should pull out of the housing.
