Abstract:
1. An unlocking jig for removing a first part of a connector from a second part of the connector, the second part having two opposite side surfaces, a plurality of locks formed on the side surfaces, and the first part having a plurality of flexing pieces elastically locked respectively to the locks, said unlocking jig comprising: an operation part and a substantially U-shaped unlocking part extending rigidly from an end of said operation part, the unlocking part having a base and two substantially parallel arms extending from the base so that the unlocking part defines a front face, a rear face opposite to the front face and a concave surface extending between the front and rear faces, the concave surface being configured for slidably engaging the side surfaces of the second part, a plurality of unlocking claws extending forward from the front face of the unlocking part, each unlocking claw having an inner surface aligned substantially perpendicular to the front face and an outer surface intersecting the inner surface at an acute angle forward of the front face, the unlocking claws being disposed and configured to engage the flexing pieces substantially simultaneously, such that movement of the operation part parallel to the inner surfaces of the unlocking claws urges the unlocking claws against the flexing pieces and deforms said flexing pieces substantially simultaneously in an unlocking direction.
