The wire insertion tool is simple and does not require any specific training or expertise.
When utilizing the wire insertion tool, one must perform the following steps:
- With the right hand, softly and firmly grip the wire with the tip of the insertion instrument.
- The left-hand grips the housing tightly.
- The port terminal, where the wire must be inserted, is located inside the housing to avoid a faulty connection that could result in a fire.
- The wire is then gently placed onto the terminal using the tool.
- A moderate tug is conducted to ensure that the wire is secured firmly in the housing and will not be removed when pulled after
- A characteristic click is heard, indicating that the wire has entered the terminal successfully.
- To avoid damaging the terminal, the insertion tool is gently removed from the housing.
And that’s how you use a wire insertion tool!

4. How Do You Use a Wire Connector Extraction Tool Kit?
The TE Connectivity extraction tool is also very easy to use and does not require high expertise.
Furthermore, extra care should also be taken when using the extraction tool not to damage the terminal or wire.
Any situation may arise which would warrant the need to remove a wire terminal. The process is paramount, so read through the elaboration below to gain adequate knowledge.
- Every TE AMP connector is slightly different, so select the most appropriate removal tool that fits accordingly.
- Remove the fastening piece from the top of the connector, which serves to protect it from damage.
- Before any terminal removal, ensure to memorize the port of the respective wires, especially if there is more than one, to avoid accidental switching.
- Gently insert the tip of the TE extraction tool down to the sides of the connector.
- Along the terminal wire are retaining pins, which help keep it firm once it is inside the connector.
- The extraction tool depresses the retaining pins, the click sound is heard, and the wire is pulled out of the connector plug.
- Ensure you return the extraction tool to the tool kit after use.
One has to be careful when using the insertion extraction tool kit because the tool’s tip can injure the finger while removing or inserting a terminal or wire.
5. What Are the Functions of the Insertion TE Connectivity Extraction Tool?
The pin insertion extraction tool is used to place or remove a wire connector or pin within a housing or connector.
They are professional tools typically made specific to a range of connectors, For the effective and efficient removal or insertion of terminals and wires.
In addition, they also allow wire terminal removal in case it gets damaged or short-circuited and have them transferred from one port to another.
