1. INTRODUCTION

Extraction Tools 91047-[ ] are designed to extract

flexible flat cable (FFC) contacts from FFC pin,

receptacle, and edge connectors with end entrance

locking lance slots (reference part number 86670-8).

Read these instructions thoroughly before removing

any contacts.

For connectors with side entrance locking lance slots,

refer to 408-7916 for Tool 91200-[ ].

Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in

millimeters [with inches in brackets]. Figures are

not drawn to scale.

Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are

provided in Section 6, REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

Each tool features a specific number of tool blades

that release the contact locking lances of the

connector. See Figure 1. The number of tool blades

must match the number of cavities in one row of the

connector.

All contact locking lances must be released

simultaneously; otherwise, damage to the

connector, contacts, or cable may result.

3. EXTRACTION PROCEDURE

Refer to Figure 2, and ensure that the number of

blades of the extraction tool matches the number of

contact cavities in one row of the connector.

Figure 2

Proceed as follows:

1. Align the tool blades with the locking lance

slots located between the contacts and outer

edge of the housing as shown in Figure 1.

2. Simultaneously insert all tool blades straight

into the connector until the tool bottoms. Only the

radius between the tool blades should be visible

when the tool is properly seated. See Figure 3.

3. Holding the tool and connector in one hand,

carefully pull on the cable. A slight side-to-side

motion may be used to ease contact extraction.
