GENERAL INFORMATION

The Extraction Tool consists of a single metal flat tool – the probe referred to in the following
instructions is the small rectangular protrusion. This tool can also be used to aid assembly of the
contacts into the housings, if required, by using the end of the probe to push on the back of the
crimp contact.

CARE OF TOOL

When the tool is not in use, store the tool in a clean, dry area. Avoid leaving anywhere where
the blade may become damaged or twisted.

ADVICE ON USE

Manual tools such as this extraction tool are intended for low volume use. Repetitive,
high-volume use is not recommended.

Use only with the Trio-Tek crimp contacts and housings listed above.

This tool is designed for hand use only, and must not be used with clamping, fixturing or use of
handle extensions.

ASSEMBLING THE CRIMP INTO THE HOUSING

Having crimped the contact to wire using either hand crimp tool Z80-255 or suitable crimping
press, the completed crimp can now be inserted into the appropriate Trio-Tek crimp housing. For
larger wire sizes, no other tooling should be required for this operation; the crimps can be pushed
in by hand. Crimps are assembled into the mould with the retaining tang towards the outer edge
of the housing. With thinner wires, it may be helpful to push onto the back of the crimp with the
Extraction Tool.

REMOVING THE CRIMP FROM THE HOUSING

Wire

Push the contact and wire forward into the housing in the direction as shown,

taking the load off of the contact latching feature on the contact.

Slide the probe down the side of the mating section of the crimp housing,

into the latching window of the crimp to be removed.
