Abstract
An extraction tool that provides for easy removal of a SIMM from a connector while preventing damage to the SIMM and the connector. The extraction tool is composed primarily of a handle portion and two arms. Each arm has a pin that couples to the holdes in a SIMM. Each arm is further comprised of an elbow portion to allow for pivoting motion of the extraction tool in order to pry a SIMM from its connector. Contact edges are provided on each arm to aid in positioning the extraction tool upon the upper edge of a connector. Each arm of the extraction tool has a chamfer surface to provide for proper coupling of a SIMM connector and to the holes in the ends of a SIMM while the SIMM is installed.
