During extraction, the back and sides of the extraction tool protect the cage assembly from damage, the wall

supports support the individual ports of the cage assembly, and the top push plate provides a surface to apply

an even force to extract the pc board from the connector and cage assembly.

3. APPLICATION TOOLING REQUIREMENT

Power for the extraction tool must be provided by application tools (with a ram) capable of supplying a

downward force of 44.5 N [10 lb] per contact.

Manual Arbor Frame Assembly 58024-1 is available for use with these extraction tool kits. Refer to Instruction

Sheet 408-6923 for operating procedure.

CAUTION

Over-driving of the extraction tool could cause damage to the connector or cage assembly.

4. EXTRACTION PROCEDURE

1. Ensure that the amount of wall supports installed onto the finger mounting block matches the amount

of ports of the cage assembly. It is recommended to center the group of wall supports on the finger

mounting block. Refer to Figure 1.

2. Install the top push plate onto the upper tooling and the base plate (with the wall supports) onto the

lower tooling of the application tool. See Figure 2.

CAUTION

Ensure that the upper tooling and lower tooling are secure; otherwise, damage to the connector and cage assembly could

occur.

3. Place the open end of the extraction tool over the cage assembly so that the cutouts align with the

protruding part (at the back) of the cage assembly. Make sure that the sides of the extraction tool sit

on the pc board.

4. Slide the extraction tool (with the connector and cage assembly and pc board) onto the wall supports

so that each “finger” of each wall support enters a port of the cage assembly. Make sure the fingers

are fully inserted into the ports. See Figure 2.

5. Cycle the application tool to extract the pc board from the connector and cage assembly. Then retract

the ram, and carefully remove the extraction tool (with the connector and cage assembly) from the

wall supports.

5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

The extraction tool kit is inspected before shipment. It is recommended that the extraction tool kit be inspected

immediately upon arrival at your facility to ensure that it has not been damaged during shipment and that it

conforms to the dimensions provided in Figure 3.
