4. SEATING
When setting up equipment to seat connectors, pay
particular attention to the following:
— The seating tool must be matched to the
connector
— The seating tool, connector, and applicator ram
must be properly aligned before cycling the tool
CAUTION
!
If the tool and connector are mismatched or are
improperly aligned, damage could occur to the
tooling, connector, or both.
1. Set seating height to the dimension shown in
Figure 2 (applicator shut height will equal the
seating height PLUS the combined thicknesses of
the pc board and pc board support fixture).
2. Position the connector onto pc board so that the
contacts (and alignment features) are properly
aligned to the pc board and support fixture.
3. Place the connector onto pc board until the
contacts are resting securely on, but have not fully
entered, the pc board.
4. Position the seating tool onto the connector,
making sure that the tool is bottomed on the
housing floor.
5. Center the seating tool and connector under the
applicator ram of the tool. Slowly lower the ram
until it just meets the seating tool. Verify alignment
of the support fixture, pc board, connector, and
seating tool.
CAUTION
!
Damage to the pc board, seating tool, or
connector may occur if seating height is
improperly set or if tool is not properly seated in
the connector before cycling the tool.
6. Cycle the tool to seat the connector in the pc
board. Then retract the ram, and carefully remove
the seating tool. Check to make sure that the
connector has been properly seated.
7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6 until all connectors
are seated.
NOTE
i
For application requirements for the connector,
refer to Application Specification 114-19029.
