Te Connectivity 305183 Extraction Tool Size 16

Product Description

The TE CONNECTIVITY 305183 is a hand extraction tool designed to remove size 16 pin and socket contacts from Type II and Type III connector housings. Built with a steel and plastic body, it delivers the rigidity needed for consistent, damage-free contact removal during connector service and repair. At 5.53 inches in length, it provides a comfortable grip and adequate reach for working in tight connector cavities. Electricians, panel technicians, and field service pros use this tool when servicing multi-pin connectors in control panels, low-voltage wiring harnesses, and industrial equipment.

This extraction tool is suited for bench and field use wherever Type II and Type III connector systems with size 16 contacts are installed. Common applications include electrical control systems, instrumentation wiring, and industrial automation assemblies. It is a single-piece tool intended for individual contact extraction without damaging the connector housing or adjacent pins.
