  • Publication number: 20140020222
    Abstract: A bracket is fitted over an external connector that has fingers, such as EMI fingers, that are spring loaded and provide electrical connections between outside panels and the main enclosure of a device. The bracket depresses the EMI fingers and provides ease of removal. A tool is dimensioned so that a user has room to grip it while not interfering with a bracket, such as a PCI bracket, when in use. The tool is dimensioned so that it can be slid over a bracket so as to compress the fingers, such as EMI fingers, and the bracket can be removed without damaging the connector. A cut out may be offset from the center to provide additional surface to grip by a user.
