1. INTRODUCTION
Removal Tool Kits 2161844-1 are used to remove the
QUADRA* cage assembly from a host printed circuit
(pc) board. The cage assemblies contain press fit
contacts to allow solderless pc board installation.
Read these instructions thoroughly before using the
removal tool.
4. REMOVAL (Figure 2)
CAUTION
Be certain the removal tool assembly does not
contact any components on the PC board during
!
use.
1. Place the pc board on a flat surface.
2. DESCRIPTION
Each removal tool kit consists of a top plate, three side
plates, a removal screw, and a support tool. The
support tool is inserted into the cage assembly during
removal. The removal screw draws the support tool
away from the printed circuit board while the side
plates push against the pc board. As the support tool
is drawn away from the pc board, the Quadra cage
assembly is removed.
3. SETUP
When setting up equipment to remove the cage
assembly, pay particular attention to the following:
• The removal tool must be matched to the cage
assembly.
• The support tool must be properly installed, and
the removal tool must be properly aligned before
removing the cage assembly.
2. Insert the support tool into the cage assembly
until it contacts the stops.
3. Place the removal tool over the cage assembly
and align the hole in the removal tool to the hole in
the support tool.
4. Insert the M12 screw into the hole in the removal
tool and turn clockwise by hand to start the threads.
5. With the proper size hex wrench, (not supplied)
turn the screw clockwise until the cage assembly is
free from the pc board.
6. Remove the support tool and cage assembly
from the removal tool by turning the screw counter
clockwise until the cage and support fixture are free
from the removal tool.
7. Discard the cage assembly. It is not designed to
be reused.
8. Check the pc board for damage to cage mounting
holes, surface traces, and components.
