DE-LATCHING TOOL Z80-299
With the de-latching tool engaged with the female moulding, the connectors are now ready to be
separated.
Ensure a steady pulling force is applied to the tool; perpendicular to the PCB for vertical
connectors and parallel to the PCB for horizontal connectors.
Ensure the multi-positional bar is kept parallel to the moulding at all times to prevent
breaking the latches.
The connectors will de-latch, and the female moulding will
remain between adjustable jaws of tool as shown.
To remove female connector from the adjustable jaws they
will need to be separated by hand. Only one jaw will need to
be moved to release the female connector as shown below.
Important Notes
It is strongly recommended that any latched connectors are only de-latched a maximum of 3 times,
exceeding this recommendation may result in poor retaining security between connectors.
Connector and/or latches may require replacement if this recommendation is exceeded.
Harwin PLC accepts no responsibility for any damages caused as a result of using this tool.
This tool is used at your own risk.
When the tool is not in use it is recommended that the jaws are stored in the handle or case.
All information in this document is to be read carefully prior to using tool. If in any doubt or
replacement parts are required please contact
