INTRODUCTION 4. REMOVAL (Figure 2) 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. 1. Place the pc board on a flat surface. 2. Insert the support tool into the cage assembly until it contacts the stops. 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. © 2012 Tyco Electronics Corporation, a TE Connectivity Ltd.
