Demating system for separating an electrical connector assembly

Abstract

A demating device configured to demate an electrical connector assembly having a first connector and a second connector is provided. The demating device may include a first separating member, a second separating member, and a gripping assembly. Actuation of the first separating member and the second separating member towards one another drives the jaws of the gripping assembly together, therein allowing secure gripping of the electrical connector assembly via the demating device for separation of the first and second connectors.
