The tool features a spring-loaded, internally-threaded
tip. The removal and replacement tips are designed to
remove or replace contacts of specific types and sizes.
The replacement tool tip is threaded into the tip of the
standard tool and fits onto the appropriate contact to
be replaced.
For proper removal and replacement of the contact,
the specified tool tips must be used. Replacement
tips can be obtained through your local
TE Connectivity Representative.
4.1. Contact Removal
(Figure 5)
1. Thread the contact removal tip into the tip of the
replacement tool.
2. Position contact removal tip over square post of
contact.
3. Holding replacement tool and pc board firmly,
push contact out of the pc board and housing.
If the pc board or panel has been soldered, contact
removal requires use of a soldering iron along with
the replacement tool for Steps 2 and 3. Hold hot tip
of soldering iron against the pin to be removed,
NOT against the pc board or panel. After the
contact is removed, use a .038-in. drill bit to clean
and size the hole for contact replacement. Do NOT
re-use ACTION PIN contacts that have been
removed.
