If you are referring to the female connectors at the end of the cables, I just use a 1/4 watt resistor or other stiff wire that will fit in the connector and a dental pick or end of a #11 pointed scalpel blade to depressed the catch. Depress the catch and push out with the wire.

If you plan to reuse the wire you may have pry up on the catch before putting it back in the connector.

Lets not confuse him.  I think Rick was talking about the molex 2 pins at the output end.

 

The input to the board (hirose or Chyao Shiunn) are the easy ones that can be lifted with anything we have mentioned so far.

 

Molex are more difficult and you are flexing a lock tab down to extract the connector.  G

I guess we need to be sure which female connectors we're talking about. When someone says connectors "for ProtoSound 2 boards", I first think of the actual connections to the board.

 

If they're the Molex ones for lights and smoke, I just put some tension on the wire after pressing down the catch.  However, as Pete says, you normally want to lift it back up a bit.
