DESCRIPTION
The Stiffener Removal Tool consists of a slide that extends (to push the stiffener off the connectors) or retracts (to
pull the stiffener onto the connectors). A series of pins engage the holes in the stiffener for removal. The press
block drives the flat edge of the stiffener for reinstallation. See figure 1.

Metal Stiffener Removal
1. Place the tool’s removal pins into
the round holes of the metal
stiffener. Align the step on the
slide base with the step on the
connectors.
2. Rotate the knob clockwise (CW) to
position the step on the slide base
so it will push against the
connector housing. Continue
turning the knob so the metal
stiffener will be pushed off the
connectors. See Figure 2.
3. For excessively long assemblies, it
may be necessary to gradually
remove the stiffener by moving the
removal tool along the length of the
assembly to avoid bending the
stiffener.
4. The metal stiffener should now be
free of the wafer modules and
selected connector(s) can be
replaced. The rear stiffener does
not need to be removed to access
the connectors.
Metal Stiffener Replacement
1. To do this, align the metal stiffener in the proper position with all individual modules. See Figure 3. Start the
metal stiffener onto the modules by hand.

2. After the metal stiffener is
positioned correctly on the
module assembly, place the
Stiffener Removal Tool on the
connectors as shown in Figure 4.
The installation of the metal
stiffener does not use the removal
pins.
3. Position the tool so it will fit over
the connectors. Turn the knob in
either direction allowing the tool to
open or close enough so the
module assembly fits between the
press block and the stiffener locator. The stiffener locator should touch the straight edge of the metal stiffener.
See Figure 4.
4. Turn the knob on the tool counter clockwise (CCW) so the stiffener locator moves toward the press block. See
Figure 5. For excessively long assemblies it may be necessary to gradually install the stiffener by moving the
tool along the length of the assembly.
5. Do not turn the knob excessively. When the knob becomes difficult to turn, this is an indication that the
stiffener is seated fully.
Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of, and responsible for, the following
maintenance steps:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean brush, or soft, lint free cloth.
2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool.
3. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high quality
machine oil. Do not oil excessively.
4. When tool is not in use, store in a clean, dry area.
CAUTION: Molex specifications are valid only when used with Molex connectors and tooling.
