Abstract
A tool for extracting an electronic slide-in unit from a fixing rack comprises a handle (50) the free end of which carries an elliptic cam member (48). The latter is adapted to be inserted between a front plate (38) of the slide-in unit (16) and a rail (24) of the rack and is dimensioned such that pivoting of the tool causes the front plate (38) to move away from the rack by a distance sufficient to completely overcome the clamping forces of connectors provided on the rack and the slide-in unit, respectively.
