Abstract
An electrical connector has a first and second connector body. A tool fits over the first connector body to assist in demating the two connector bodies from one another. Compressing the tool compresses spring fingers in one of the connector bodies, allowing the connector bodies to be easily demated from one another without excessive force and damaging printed circuit boards to which the connector may be connected.
