S.M.W "Molex" Pin Remover

The Pin-Remover KIT consists of the one and only original ATX / PCI-E pin-remover by the MOLEX company plus the additional MDPC SMW pin-removal tool for "Molex" (FAT-4) crimp terminals. Of course both pin-removal tools are made for female and male terminals. Please read the description of both pin-removers, which will give you detailed information about each tool.

The Original Pin Remover by MOLEX This is the only official Pin Remover for the extraction of ATX, PCI-E and EPS crimp-terminals – and of course it is the finest. When you own the MOLEX, you will have the best imaginable chance to succeed with a technically clean pin removal. Made in the USA, the one and only official extraction tool! By the creator of the official ATX, PCI-E and EPS specifications: The MOLEX Company. The 100% perfect manufacturing by MOLEX is 100% according to the specifications which the MOLEX Company uses for all their connectors and pins. No compromise, no manufacturing tolerances. This extraction tool is the opposite of the modding-toys, which try to imitate it for lower cost or higher profitability. How do I learn how to use the Pin Remover, is there a pin removal guide? On our second photo, you see a quick official description by the MOLEX Company. You will get our extensive private pin removal guide, coming with your Pin Remover shipment. Why are other extraction tools or methods avoided by professionals Of course you could extract the wires from the connectors by using other tools or even staples, but the other “tips” are mostly thicker than the tips of the original MOLEX Pin Remover. Why are other extraction tool tips usually thicker? Thicker tips would be needed with lower quality materials, so they do not instantly break off if used slightly wrong. The MOLEX Pin Remover tips can only get damaged with serious human error in the extraction process. Thicker tips would theoretically make the extraction easier, which many think is the main quality aspect, but that is very short-sighted and dangerous. If something is thicker than the MOLEX tip specifications, it will damage or reduce the highly important flexibility of the locking tabs on the sides of the crimp terminal. What would happen? The crimp terminal would not hold securely in the connector later on and could move out of position / fall out of the connector. In worst case you would end up with electrical damage to the devices in your system. Imitations and the story behind it Sometimes there are products, which try to look like the MOLEX original, on the market. These have been created by shop owners, who were not happy with the low (or no) profitability they had on selling the original Pin Remover by MOLEX. They then tried to offer a low-cost imitation of the basic shape, which is covered by tape or shrink in the whole grip-area, so the visible rest “could” look like an original MOLEX tool to the inexperienced user. With MDPC you will only get the best product, not just similar, close or nearly identical. No compromise, because tools are not toys.

FAT4 "Molex" housing with 8 crimp terminals. People often call this housing a "Molex" housing, which is wrong. A long time ago, the MOLEX company created the specification for this housing type, as they did to a thousand other housing types. The MOLEX company has stopped manufacturing this part a long time ago, as it officially became end of life. Somehow this housing type never died though and other companies had to continue making it. You can use them with different wire sizes (18 AWG, 0.75 mm², 17 AWG 1.00 mm² - and our very special 15 AWG 1.50 mm²). This 5 1/4" device power housing (that's what it was called officially) comes with 8 crimp terminals, twice as much as you need. The tool for de-pinning the "Molex" FAT4 housing is our SMW "Molex" Pin Remover. To crimp the crimp terminals onto your wires, we highly recommend our MDPC CTX3 Crimping Tool. It will create absolutely perfect crimps.

Too cheap (2C) and too good (2G)! This is our little 2C2G ATX pin-remover, affordable for everyone. 100% made in Germany, it's offered at a lower price than almost anything on the market, while still being better than almost all others. Not possible? Possible! The 2C2G pin removal tool is used for the extraction of female and male ATX, PCI-E and EPS crimp terminals (MOLEX Mini-Fit terminals). Compared to similar looking chinese versions, the 2C2G provides key aspects, which make your pin removal job as easy as possible: Thickness of the tips is at the maximum of ATX specifications = as easy as possible crimp terminal removal from the connector / housing. Chamfered tips = easy insertion of the tool into the small space between connector and terminal. Extremely flexible and bendable tips (see photos) = typical beginner faults have a much lower chance to lead to immediate breaking of the tips. Ultra-high-grip MDPC-X heat-shrink comes with the tool if you want to have a non-slip grip. A guide comes with the tool when you order here at MDPC-X. The product gallery shows you the extreme bendable tips of the 2C2G pin-remover. It also shows you how to straighten tips with the use of a small precision plier, in case you've bent them. Enjoy this ultra value for money tool!
