1. INTRODUCTION

This instruction sheet covers the use of Extraction

Tool 843473–1 which is recommended for removing

crimp, snap–in contacts from AMPMODU MOD I and

REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

The extraction tip is designed to enter the lance

recess in the front of the housing and depress the

locking lance of the contact.

The connector includes both the housing and the

contacts while the housing is the material which

forms the encapsulation for the contacts.

The lance recess is the cavity located between the

contact and the connector housing. A solid rib

(locking ledge) at the rear of the lance recess cavity

provides a stop for the extraction tool. The housings

are designed to prevent improper insertion of the

contacts which are inserted into the rear of the

housing.

A lug is located on the side of the MOD I housing

which contains the contact locking ledge.

Determine which connector contains the contact to be

removed and proceed as follows:

1. Insert the tool straight into the lance recess until

it bottoms on the locking ledge.

2. Holding the tool and connector in one hand, grip

the wire of the contact with the other hand and pull

the contact out of the back of the connector.
