ABSTRACT:
An extractor tool for removing a circuit module from a connector where the module has a substantial length, has a plurality of electrical contacts resiliently engaged with corresponding connector contacts, and has latch means at opposite ends receiving engagement by separate connector latches for detachably retaining the module on the connector. The tool has a thin flat body with spaced parallel legs extending from one side of the body to accommodate the substantial module length between the legs and has tapered surfaces on the edges of the distal ends of the legs to be pressed against the separate connector latches to release both of the latches at the same time to permit removal of the module from the connector free of damage to the latches or the resiliently engaged contacts.
