1. Set seating height to the dimension shown in
Figure 3 (applicator shut height will equal the
seating height PLUS the combined thicknesses of
the pc board and pc board support).
2. Position header into pc board so that header
contacts are properly aligned to the board and
board support.
3. Insert header into pc board until the compliant
sections of the contacts are resting securely on,
but have not fully entered, the pc board.
4. Position appropriate seating tool into header,
making sure tool is bottomed on housing floor.

applicator ram of the power source; slowly lower
ram until it just meets the seating tool. Verify the
alignment of the board support, pc board, header,
and seating tool.
CAUTION

Damage to the pc board, tool, or header may
occur if the wrong size tool is used, if seating
height is improperly set, or if tool is not
properly seated in the header before cycling the
applicator ram.
6. Cycle applicator ram according to instructions
for the power source. Check assembly for proper
seating, using the requirements in Figure 3.
