Application & Usage Notes
The Philmore 61-390 pin extraction tool is an essential accessory for any technician, installer, or hobbyist working with .093-inch crimp connectors. It allows for the non-destructive removal of contacts, preserving the integrity of the housing and allowing reuse of connectors.
How to Use:
-
Align and insert the tool over the target pin (male or female) inside the housing.
-
The tool compresses the pin’s retention tangs as it seats.
-
Activate the extractor’s mechanism to fully disengage the pin.
-
Gently pull the wire and contact straight out of the housing.
-
Ensure no twisting or side pressure is applied during removal.
This tool is especially valuable in field-service scenarios, where replacing an entire connector assembly is not practical. It also supports clean upgrades or modifications without damaging the existing wiring infrastructure.
Example Use Scenario
Suppose a technician is servicing an equipment cabinet using .093-inch connectors and finds a faulty wire. Rather than replacing the full plug, the technician uses the Philmore 61-390 to remove the damaged pin, re-terminates the wire with a new contact, and reinstalls it—saving time, money, and materials.
