Question concerning AMP extracting tool.

[Hackcell]

Hi,

What's the correct AMP extractor to use with 177915-2 and 177917-1 pins?

Thanks

This, I kid you not:

To use it, stick it into the side of the connector where the wire inserts into. If viewing the connector from the wire side with the top of the connector facing up, you want to position the insertion at dead center (12 o'clock) between the connector and the wire. There is a latch that you'll push into with slight pressure. As soon as you do that, the wire and pin comes right out.

You can thank @300wins for demonstrating this for me.

I bought the 60 dollar pin extractor from TE. It's a flimsy POS. I haven't felt as duped in quite a while.

Unless you're removing pins daily, +1 for the paper clip.

I have a set of extractor pin on my toolbox similar to this: C$ 2.71 18%OFF | OOTDTY 11 Pcs Auto Car Plug Circuit Board Wire Harness Terminal Extraction Pick Connector Crimp Pin Back Needle Remove Tool

They get used all the time for various little thing and only $2-$3. Well worth having for that price and utility.

This looks pretty similar and for folks in the States we can get it pretty quickly instead of 3+ weeks for about the same price after shipping.
