This instruction sheet covers the use of Extraction
Tool 843473–1 which is recommended for removing
crimp, snap–in contacts from AMPMODU MOD I and
MOD IV Receptacle Connectors listed in Catalog
1307819. Read these instructions before attempting
to extract the contacts.
Reasons for reissue are given in SECTION 5,
REVISION SUMMARY.
The extraction tip is designed to enter the lance
recess in the front of the housing and depress the
locking lance of the contact.
The lance recess is the cavity located between the
contact and the connector housing. A solid rib
(locking ledge) at the rear of the lance recess cavity
provides a stop for the extraction tool. The housings
are designed to prevent improper insertion of the
contacts which are inserted into the rear of the
housing.
A lug is located on the side of the MOD I housing
which contains the contact locking ledge.
Determine which connector contains the contact to be
removed and proceed as follows:
1. Insert the tool straight into the lance recess until
it bottoms on the locking ledge.
2. Holding the tool and connector in one hand, grip
the wire of the contact with the other hand and pull
the contact out of the back of the connector.
