The principal parts of the terminal removal tool are shown in Figure 1. LIFTING BAR Operation 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 PC board Support Plate for added protection of the printed circuit board. 1. Turn the T Handle counter-clockwise (CCW) until the lifting fingers are exposed below the end supports. See Figure 2. (The stop screw will become disengaged from the lifting bar.) 2. Slide the lifting fingers down over the header assembly until the lifting fingers snap under the stiffeners on both sides of the header assembly. See Figure 2.

Lower the tool until the bottom of the end supports contact the printed circuit board surface. 4. Turn the T handle clockwise (CW) until the header assembly is removed from the PCB. See Figure 3.

This is not a tooling malfunction. A pair of needle nose pliers may be used to individually remove the terminals. 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. 5. With the removal tool away from the PCB, take the header assembly out of the tool by turning the T handle counterclockwise until the lifting fingers are exposed. Pull the header assembly up slightly and slide it out of the side of the tool.
