4.1.5 Socket and Pin Extraction Tool
The socket and pin extraction tool is designed to allow removal of pins and sockets
from various connectors for repair or replacement. This tool is included in the Steel
Table Tool Kit and is available from QubicaAMF by ordering P/N 030-004-031. Use
the tool as shown in Figure 4.1-4 below.
Figure 4.1-4, Pin Extracting Tool
NOTE: When a pin or socket is removed from an "M" type plug, it will be necessary to
flare out the two wings (Figure 4.1-4) which have been flattened by the extraction
tool. This action is necessary so that the terminal seats properly and will not back
out of the plug when reinstalled. Care should also be exercised to prevent
damage to the ring at the rear of the terminal. This area must remain circular to
promote correct alignment within the plug.
