Tool Restrictions
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.

SUPPORT TOOL
FLUSH WITH HOUSING
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.
The contact pin extract support tool can be purchased separately from Molex order number 62201-8927.
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.

Note: Some longer-length headers may need the following steps repeated, with the removal tool and the contact pin
extract support being re-applied along the length of the assembly
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 5.
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.

Impel Backplane Header Removal Tool
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.
