NOTE: Never reuse a backplane signal pin once it has been removed. Also, no more than three pins should be
pressed into any plated through hole.
Replacement
To replace pairs of pins, use insertion tool no. 62202-2090.
Note: The pins are left and right handed and must be loaded into the connector in their proper orientation. They
should be positioned in the insertion tool so that the
ribs on the center of the pins are located in the
grooves in the tip of the tool, facing the round
indentations. Due to the small size of the pins, a

tweezers may help in this operation. There should be
a slight friction fit when the pins are inserted all the
way in to the tip. See Figure 5-2. Carefully load and
push the pins down into the connector base until the
tool stops against the board. See Figure 5-3. Then
remove the inserter from the connector.
