1. INTRODUCTION

Extraction Tool 1583237–1 (shown in Figure 1) is

designed to extract individual pin (post) contacts from

HM–Zd header connectors. The connectors can be

removed from the printed circuit (pc) board using

HM–Zd Header Removal Tools 1583220–1 and

1583234–1 (refer to 408–8645).

Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in

millimeters [with inches in brackets]. Figures are

not drawn to scale.

Read these instructions before using the extraction

tool.

Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are

provided in Section 6, REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

The extraction tool consists of a handle, adjustment

cap, spring–loaded tip, and push pin. See Figure 1.

The adjustment cap, located on one end of the

handle, can be set to allow the push pin to recess or

extend out of the spring–loaded tip while extracting

the pin contact.

The push pin pushes on the pin contact and ejects it

from the pc board and connector.

3. EXTRACTION PROCEDURE

3.1. Pin Contact Not Extended Beyond Board Surface

1. Turn the adjustment cap

clockwise until the

push pin is extended (approximately 0.51 [.020])

beyond the end of the spring–loaded tip. Refer to

Figure 2.

3. Holding the tool perpendicular to the pc board,

apply pressure to the tool until the pin contact is

ejected from the pc board and connector.

It may be necessary to raise the pc board off the

work surface to allow for sufficient clearance of

the extracted pin contact.
