1. INTRODUCTION

The removal tools listed in Figure 1 are designed to

remove the housing from the chicklets of Z--PACK

HM--Zd right--angle headers. The chicklets will remain

on the printed circuit (pc) board.

Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are

provided in Section 7, REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

Each removal tool consists of the components shown

in Figure 1. After the release block is attached to the

front of the header, the thumbscrew knob is used to

secure the puller to the housing. Rotating the lever

moves the pushers against the pc board and pulls the

housing from the header.

3. ADJUSTMENT

Before using the removal tool, each pusher must be

positioned according to the location of the header on

the pc board. Refer to Figure 2.

To avoid damage to the header or pc board,

make sure that the pushers are properly

positioned before using the removal tool.

Adjust the pusher(s) as follows:

1. Remove the screws that secure the lever arm

(to be adjusted) onto the lever. Pull the lever arm

from the groove pin. See Figure 2.

If adjusting both pushers, pull the other lever arm,

with the lever attached, from the groove pin.

2. Flip the pusher(s) so that either the

longer--length end (standard position, shown in

Figure 2) or shorter--length end (reversed position)

faces the front of the removal tool. For the

standard position, make sure that the indent of the

pusher faces outward. Refer to Figure 2.

3. Place the hole of the lever arm onto the groove

pin, and place the dowel pin of the lever arm into

the hole (of the pusher) closest to back of removal

tool. Refer to Figure 2.

If adjusting both pushers, do the same for the other

lever arm (with the lever attached).

4. Secure the lever arm to the lever with the

screws.
