DIY U.FL Extraction tool?

scottiebabe over 1 year ago

u.FL connectors are just a pain. Connector manufactures sell an extraction tool for these wonderful RF connectors, such as

Pricey.

How about two 100'thou SMD header pins soldered for a 2.5mm gap between the pins?

Hmm, these photos scream of potato vision...

I'll try it for a bit and see if it works out..

Other ideas?

Testing. Why do pasted images get scaled? Trying a small one.

    I use this (got it free at Embedded World several years ago): https://www.megiq.com/shop/accessories/sma-ufl-tool Since it is 3D printed, I believe there will be a model somewhere or feel free to draw…

    Sparkfun has an insertion/removal tool that I may give a try - U.FL Push/Pull Tool .

    I've always found my fingers (with fingernails) to be sufficient ... what annoys me more is the myriad of names that are used for this type of connector that are seemingly interchangeable - u.FL, IPEX, MHF4 ...

    But perhaps you might have soma aluminium plate you could drill a small hole in and use nippers to open it up into something resembling a fork.

    Or just use a pair of side cutters backwards, applying no squeeze, only leverage ... or a very fine pair of pliers or tweezers.
