1. INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet covers the use and
maintenance of Tyco Electronics Seating Tools
318860–[ ]. The tools are used to seat Z–PACK 2mm
FB (Futurebus+) 5–row pin headers onto a printed
circuit (pc) board. These headers contain compliant
lead contacts to allow solderless pc board installation.
Read these instructions and understand them before
using the seating tool.

2. DESCRIPTION
Each seating tool is an assembly of one or more
different length blades to one of seven different length
adapters. The choice of lengths allows you to build
tools to seat any of the available pin header sizes.
Figure 2 matches tool part number to the size of the
pin header to be seated. The adapter straightens the
header, during the cycle of the applicator ram, to
provide proper insertion into the pc board. When
seating the header, the blades are positioned over the
contact shoulders to prevent damage to the contacts.
Each tool is designed for a specific combination of
contacts in a row and number of rows in a header.
During seating, the tool sits inside the header housing
with the blades engaging the housing floor and
contact shoulders, preventing contacts from pushing
out of the housing.
