2. DESCRIPTION
The seating tool is used in Manual Handle Assembly
58074-1, Bench-Mount Pneumatic Assembly 58338-1,
or Electric Power Unit 931800-1. When installed into
the appropriate power assembly, the seating tool will
seat plastic housings over the previously terminated
and inspected contacts of the single-row AMPMODU
MTE contact housing assemblies. Refer to 408-6919
for a complete description of AMPMODU MTE
connectors.
For information concerning the setup and operation of
the power assemblies, refer to instruction sheets
408-6790 and 408-9393, and to customer manual
409-5746. Note that the pneumatic assemblies are
designed to operate between 280-480 kPa [40 through
70 psi].
NOTE
i
Before contacts can be seated into the housing
assemblies, all contact positions on the entire
carrier strip must be cycled through an insertion
station, even if a slot is intentionally left empty.
Features of the head and their functions are as
follows:
• Adjuster (Insertion Rod) - is a piston for the slide
bar and regulates its travel.
• Drive Bar - is the reversible block that actually
pushes against the contact housing.
• Slide Bar - is the guiding bar that maintains the
alignment of the drive bar, and guides it.
• Guide Cover - goes between the wire and the
carrier strip and provides backup support to the
carrier strip during seating.
3. SETUP AND ADJUSTMENTS
The seating depth adjustment on the insertion rod
adjuster is preset prior to shipment. If, after inspection,
it is determined that the contacts are not seated
properly, re-adjust the seating depth.
3.1. For Pistol Grip Manual Handle Assembly and
Electric Power Unit
1. Select a terminated connector.
2. Load connector into the seating tool and cycle the
tool.
3. Inspect seated connector according to Figure 6.
4. If contacts are properly seated in the housings,
remove connector from the seating tool and
