408-32181
2. DESCRIPTION
Each extraction tool kit consists of an extraction tool, a top push plate, base plate, and wall supports (one for
each stacked row of the cage assembly).
The base plate features a finger mounting block that holds up to eight wall supports to the base plate. See
Figure 1. The top push plate is designed to be installed onto the upper tooling and the base plate is designed to
be installed onto the lower tooling of the application tool. The extraction tool has cutouts (one located on each
side) to accept the protruding part of the cage assembly. Each “finger” of a wall support fits into a port of the
cage assembly.
During extraction, the back and sides of the extraction tool protect the cage assembly from damage, the wall
supports support the individual ports of the cage assembly, and the top push plate provides a surface to apply
an even force to extract the pc board from the connector and cage assembly.
3. APPLICATION TOOLING REQUIREMENT
Power for the extraction tool must be provided by application tools (with a ram) capable of supplying a
downward force of 44.5 N [10 lb.] per contact.
Manual Arbor Frame Assembly 58024-1 is available for use with these extraction tool kits. Refer to Instruction
Sheet 408-6923 for operating procedure.
CAUTION
Over-driving of the extraction tool could cause damage to the connector or cage assembly.
4. EXTRACTION PROCEDURE
1. Ensure that the amount of wall supports installed onto the finger mounting block matches the amount
of ports of the cage assembly. It is recommended to center the group of wall supports on the finger
mounting block. Refer to Figure 1.
2. Install the top push plate onto the upper tooling and the base plate (with the wall supports) onto the
lower tooling of the application tool. See Figure 2.
CAUTION
Ensure that the upper tooling and lower tooling are secure; otherwise, damage to the connector and cage assembly could
occur.
3. Place the open end of the extraction tool over the cage assembly so that the cutouts align with the
protruding part (at the back) of the cage assembly. Make sure that the sides of the extraction tool sit
on the pc board.
4. Slide the extraction tool (with the connector and cage assembly and pc board) onto the wall supports
so that each “finger” of each wall support enters a port of the cage assembly. Make sure the fingers
are fully inserted into the ports. See Figure 2.
