4. Continue to insert extraction tool into housing until the locking tangs have snapped out of their locked
position. If the terminal locking tabs are still not totally depressed, hold on tight to the wire and push it
towards the extractor tool, this will completely depress the locking tabs. See Figure 2.
5. Gently pull the terminal by the wire, out from the housing.
NOTE:
When a terminal is removed in this manner the locking tangs are damaged and the terminal is not reusable.
CAUTION: This extractor tool should be used to extract the terminal only. Using it for unintended purposes may
cause injury or damage to parts. Be careful not to deform the end of the terminal.
CAUTION: Molex specifications are valid only when used with Molex terminals, applicators and tooling.
