Abstract

A disassembling tool includes a holding block having a housing portion for accommodating a plug connector, a slide block, and a handling part for sliding the slide block. The plug connector comprises an outer member and a plug frame and is accommodated in the housing portion of the holding block. When turning a handle of the handling part, the slide block is slidably moved so that projections provided on the slide block release the locking between locking portions of the outer member and locked portions of the plug frame. Following this, contact portions provided on the slide block come into contact with the plug frame so as to push it out of the outer member by a given amount.
