TE Connectivity – AMP Pin Extractor Tool for Hot Tub Plugs

The AMP pin extractor tool from TE Connectivity is a hand tool for removing pins from AMP plugs, the connectors commonly used on modern hot tub control systems. It lets you release and refit individual contacts without cutting the wires, so it is a practical choice when a spa plug needs replacing or re-pinning.

What the AMP pin extractor tool does

This hot tub pin extractor makes it easy to take pins out of an AMP plug. Instead of cutting the cable and starting again, you release the pin from the plug body, work on the connection and then reconnect it.

That makes it a useful addition to the toolbox of anyone who services spa wiring, whether you are looking after your own hot tub or carrying out repairs for others.

When you need an AMP pin removal tool

The extractor is most useful in two situations:

• You need to replace an AMP plug on your spa.
• The wires are not connected in the right order and the pins need to be moved to the correct positions.

In both cases the tool lets you remove and reconnect the pins without cutting any wires or wasting any contacts.

Compatibility with AMP plugs

The tool is intended for AMP plugs, as commonly found on modern hot tub control systems. No specific spa models or control system types are listed for this tool, so it is best to check that the plug on your spa is an AMP type before ordering.

If you are not sure, contact us with details of the plug and the part number on the back of your current control part, and we will help you confirm that this is the right tool.

Why remove pins instead of cutting wires

Cutting a wire to get a pin out shortens the cable and usually ruins the contact. Using a dedicated extractor avoids both problems.

• The wires stay at their original length.
• The contacts are not wasted and can be reconnected.
• Pins can be put back in the correct order if they were wired wrongly.
