TE Connectivity 2215038-1 Instruction Sheet

PC Board

1. INTRODUCTION

Removal Tool Kits 2215038-1 are used to remove the QUADRA cage assembly from a host printed circuit (pc)
board. The cage assemblies contain press fit contacts to allow solderless pc board installation. Read these
instructions thoroughly before using the removal tool.

2. DESCRIPTION

Each removal tool kit consists of a top plate, three side plates, a removal screw, and a support tool. The
support tool is inserted into the cage assembly during removal. The removal screw draws the support tool away
from the printed circuit board while the side plates push against the pc board. As the support tool is drawn
away from the pc board, the Quadra cage assembly is removed.

3. SETUP

When setting up equipment to remove the cage assembly, pay particular attention to the following:

The removal tool must be matched to the cage assembly.

The support tool must be properly installed, and the removal tool must be properly aligned before
removing the cage assembly.

4. REMOVAL

(Figure 2)
CAUTION
Be certain the removal tool assembly does not contact any components on the PC board during use.
1. Place the pc board on a flat surface.
2. Insert the support tool into the cage assembly until it contacts the stops.
NOTE
Some cage assemblies may have a flange attached. Remove flange to insert support tool.
3. Place the removal tool over the cage assembly and align the hole in the removal tool to the hole in the
support tool.
4. Insert the M12 screw into the hole in the removal tool and turn clockwise by hand to start the threads.
5. With the proper size hex wrench, (not supplied) turn the screw clockwise until the cage assembly is
free from the pc board.
6. Remove the support tool and cage assembly from the removal tool by turning the screw counter
clockwise until the cage and support fixture are free from the removal tool.
