ABSTRACT:
A tool (34, 144) is provided for extracting a contact (16, 112) from the front end of a connector, which not only has a sleeve (70) to release a locking clip (30) that holds the contact in position, but that also has a highly resilient grasping clip (80) that grasps the contact to pull it out when the tool is withdrawn from the connector. In a tool for a connector which has a barrel (29) lying within the locking clip and that has a smaller diameter location (32) forward of the barrel, the grasping clip (80) with spring fingers (86) lies in the sleeve at a position wherein the spring fingers can grasp the smaller diameter location of the contact to pull out the contact. A tool (144) for a contact (112) wherein the barrel (132) extends along the entire forward length of the contact but a front portion (170) of the barrel projects forward of the connector insulator, has a grasping clip (160) that lies in a sleeve part of greater bore diameter than the forward sleeve portion (142) that releases the locking clip from the contact.
