ABSTRACT:
A removal tool is operable for separating components of an assembled electrical connector used for connecting electrical conductors together. The electrical connector includes a tapered connector sleeve having a general "C" cross section with a slot defining a stop ledge and a wedge having a latching ledge which engages the stop ledge when inserted into the slot preventing removal of the wedge. The removal tool with a first block member includes outwardly projecting ears for selective insertion into the slot for engagement with the stop ledge. A second block member includes outwardly projecting slide pins. The first block member is slidably received on the slide pins for movement toward and away from the second block member, a removal blade on the second block member having a tapered nose member projecting toward the first block member and an integral shoulder on the second block member facing the first block member and spaced from the removal blade in a direction away from the first block member. When the assembled electrical connector is positioned on the removal tool with the ears projecting into the slot of the connector sleeve and the tapered nose member is inserted between the wedge and the connector sleeve, movement of the first block member toward the second block member causes the latching ledge of the wedge to disengage from the stop ledge. With continued movement of the first block member toward the second block member the shoulder engages the wedge and forces its removal from the connector sleeve.
