ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic tool for safely separating one multipin electrical connector from another. The preferred separation tool consists of a master cylinder which operates a pair of slave cylinders, each slave cylinder having a corresponding operative shaft and an extraction tab. The slave cylinders are variably spaced apart from one another such that they may be positioned on either side of mated connector pairs of different sizes and so that their extraction tabs may be slid between the connectors. When the master cylinder's plunger is operated, such operation is hydraulically transmitted to the operative shafts of the slave cylinders which extend outward and, once pressed against a substrate, causes the slave cylinders and corresponding extractor tabs to move away and separate one connector from the other. A second preferred separation tool includes an additional pair of extractor tabs, one at the end of each operative shaft, so that the tool can be used to separated a mated connector pair hanging in free space. The extractor tabs may be notched in order to be inserted between the connectors around mounting hardware used to secure the connectors to each other.
