ABSTRACT:
A tool for extracting an electronic module from a socket for the electronic module. The socket has first and second retaining projections formed thereon which engage first and second retaining holes in the module to allow movement of the module only in a first direction relative to the socket. The tool basically comprises: (a) a main body portion; (b) a pair of extraction detents extending from the main body portion; and (c) first and second channel portions. The channel portions are arranged to receive outer peripheral edge portions of the module. When the extraction tool is displaced towards the socket with the module edge portions received within the channel portions, the channel portions guide the tool into an extraction position in which extraction projections on the extraction detents are adjacent to the retaining holes. By rotating the tool and module in the first direction, the retaining projections no longer engage the retaining holes and the extraction projections enter the retaining holes. The extraction projections thus engage the retaining holes to allow the module to be removed from the socket.
