Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0095885A2] The housing of an electrical connector assembly includes a respective channel 21 at each end thereof which opens towards the rear of the housing. A deepened section 24 of the channels 21 presents a face 24 towards the opening thereof. An insertion tool (not shown) has a plurality of arms spaced apart by the same distance as the channels 21 and provides a grip at a distance from the rear of the housing to facilitate connection of the assembly to a corresponding assembly which may be surrounded by other connector assemblies thus preventing gripping the assembly by hand. A disengagement tool (Figure 7) has a plurality of arms 25 spaced apart by a corresponding distance to the channels 21. Each of the arms has a locking member 27 arranged to cooperate with the faces 24 of the channels to facilitate removal of a connector assembly from a corresponding assembly. The disengagement tool is preferably of a plastics material which has sufficient resilience to enable the arms 25 to flex to permit insertion of the arms 25 in the channels 21.
