Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0913893A2] Extractor rods (20) are mounted on an upper beam (11) and pass through holes in a lower beam (12). Grooved jaws (19) are attached to the lower beam such that they may enter the connector cavities after which the upper beam is lowered manually (14) causing the extractor rods to free the male and female terminals from each other.
