What is it?

Terminal Pin Extractor Remover Tools for JST Connectors. Designed to work with connectors of any number pin positions. Note: Often the pitch is incorrectly listed on the Internet as being slightly different than described in the Datasheets. For example the JST-XH connector pitch is often listed as 2.54mm when actually it is 2.50mm. The slight difference is not significant with regard to these tools.

Why did you make it?

I GOT TIRED OF POKING AND GOUGING EACH TERMINAL PIN AND INFLICTING DAMAGE TO THE TERMINAL AND BLOOD ON THE WORK-BENCH. SO... I DECIDED TO DESIGN AND MAKE AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION THAT IS QUICK, EASY TO USE AND PREVENTS DAMAGE.

What makes it special?

Easy to use and prevents damage to the connector, terminal pin, and yourself. It is designed to be used on connectors with any number of terminal pins.

DESIGN UPGRADE (Ver1.1) I have upgraded the design of both the JST-XH and JST-VH Extractors to accommodate the "clone" connectors being sold that do not exactly follow the specification of the datasheets from JST company.

I have noticed that some "knock-off" terminals have various "crimp profiles" on the Latch part of the terminal that do not match the straight and flat design displayed in the JST datasheets.

Usage Technique: I found that after inserting the connector applying slight tugging to the wires while applying slight squeeze/release pressures to the connector will reliably release the Terminal Pins.

Please watch the the following quick usage videos... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Iv3tq62Mac and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEGAovEmVBw

FYI: Although these Version 1.1 extractors are useful for light duty and have a lower price, I have just posted a significant DESIGN UPGRADE (Ver2.0) that virtually eliminates the problems described previously and is only slightly more expensive.

Clever solution for JST pin removal.

Works as described, making JST pin removal easy, better than alternatives. Only downside is that 3D printed material used to make tool is brittle and will break fairly easy.

Product does not work great

I just tested this product, The tool is printed on a 3D printer and the overall quality of the print is only average. The smaller one seemed to work okay but was not near as easy as the video made it look. The Larger one work to a much lesser degree. It did not seem to be able top press in the retaining tab very well on the on the connector. over all well the concept seems sound the quality of the tool is preventing it to work as well as hoped.

Calvin,
Thank you for your honest review.
I think I need to add operating procedures in the text.
I found that after inserting the connector applying slight tugging to the wires while applying slight squeeze/release pressures to the connector will reliably release the Terminal Pins.
I have succeeded on every connector I have around here. However, I have discovered that many "knock-off" JST connectors have different "Crimp Profiles" on the Latch part of the Terminal Pin that does not match the flat design specification on the JST Datasheet.
If you could mail me the connector your having difficulty with I would gladly use it to make modifications to the design and return it and the new extractor at no charge.
By the way, the 3D printed parts are structurally sound and high enough resolution to do the job.
