In order for this tool to function, there is a “Keep-Out Zone” of .197” (5.00mm) around the header that needs to be
clear of other components. See Figure 2. This is a general requirement, regardless of the header being removed.

Note: Be sure that all parts of the
removal tool will clear any components
on the printed circuit board during use.
Tape may also be placed over circuit
traces or on the bottom of the PCB
Support for added protection of the
printed circuit board.

SUPPORT
Place the contact pin extract support
tool inside the backplane assembly;
make sure all the ground shields are
inside the windows of the contact tool.
The extract support tool should be
resting on the bottom surface of the
housing assembly. See Figure 3.

ASSEMBLY
The contact pin extract support tool for the 3 pair can be purchased separately from Molex order number
62201-8901.
Warning: Failure to have the contact tool seated in the correct position will result in a partial assembly extraction.
Note: Be sure that all parts of the removal tool will clear any components on the printed circuit board during use.
Tape may also be placed over circuit traces or on the bottom of the PCB Support for added protection of the
printed circuit board.

Backplane Header Removal Tool
1. Slide the PCB Supports and Lifting Jaws fully open. See Figure 4. Turn the Lifting Screw Knob counterclockwise (CCW) until the Lifting Jaws are slightly below the PCB Supports. At this point, the end of the Lifting
Screw will be nearly flush with the bottom of the Lifting Bar.
2. Move the tool down over the outside walls of the backplane housing. Note that the jaws have “teeth” that engage
the recessed area of the housing (near the PCB surface). See Figure 5.
Note: The lifting jaws must engage the recesses in the housing so it can be lifted off the PCB.
3. Close the Lifting Jaws onto the backplane header housing. When the teeth are properly engaged in the
recesses, the inside of the Lifting Jaws should be very close to the sides of the header housing. See Figure 6.

LIFT SCREW CENTERED
4. Ideally, the Lift Screw should be centered on the width of the backplane assembly. This will prevent the header
assembly from tilting as it is removed from the PCB. If the screw is off-center, the top of the tool (screw, Lifting
Bar, and Top Support) can be slid over until centered. See Figure 6.
5. Turn the Lift Screw Knob clockwise (CW) until the PCB Supports contact the printed circuit board.
6. Continue turning the Lift Screw Knob clockwise (CW) until the backplane header is removed from the printed
circuit board. See Figure 7.
7. Move the extraction tool away from the printed circuit board.
Slide the PCB Supports and Lifting Jaws open to release the
header from the tool. Discard the header.
KNOB TURNED
CLOCKWISE
Note: After the backplane header is removed from the PCB, some
terminals or shield blades may be left in the PCB. This is not a
tooling malfunction. If there are terminals left in the PCB use a pair
of long nose pliers to remove them carefully so no damage is caused
to the PCB. Caution is required when using this method; if a terminal
is incorrectly gripped or pulled away at an angle, it could break off
inside the PCB hole. After terminals are pulled out of the PCB, they
should be discarded. The PCB should be free of any contact debris.

Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of, and responsible for, the following
maintenance steps:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean brush, or soft, lint free cloth.
2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool.
3. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high quality
machine oil. Do not oil excessively.
4. When tool is not in use, store in a clean, dry area.
CAUTION: Molex specifications are valid only when used with Molex terminals, applicators and tooling.
