DE-LATCHING TOOL Z80-299
Separating the Connectors
The pictures below show the 60mm long multi-positional bar being used to separate both vertical
and horizontal DIL connectors. Shown below is a 20 way connector, with the tool in the “Ready”
position, prior to separating the connectors.
 Both jaws must be centrally positioned, resting the tool on the two latches.
 The multi-positional bar must be kept parallel to the moulding at all times to prevent breaking
the latches.
 Square Cut outs in the jaws must be aligned to clear the “Clip” feature of the latches /
mouldings when pushed onto connector.
Once correctly positioned the tool can then be pushed on until the hook features of the jaws grip
the female moulding.
 The picture on the right shows how the tool should look once engaged
ready to separate mated connectors.
