1. INTRODUCTION
QUADRA Seating Tool Kits are used to seat the QUADRA cage assembly onto a host printed circuit (pc)
board. The cage assemblies contain press fit contacts to allow solderless pc board installation. Read these
instructions thoroughly before using the seating tool.
NOTE
Dimensions on this instruction sheet are in millimeters [with inch equivalent dimensions in brackets]. Figures and illustrations
are for identification only and are not drawn to scale.
2. DESCRIPTION
Each seating tool kit consists of one seating tool. The top of the seating tool provides a surface to accept the
force applied by the application tool to seat the cage assembly onto the pc board.
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. PC Board Support Fixture
A pc board support must be used to provide proper support to the pc board and protect the pc board and
product from damage. The pc board support must be designed for specific needs using the following
recommendations:
 It should be at least 25.4 mm [1.00 in.] longer and wider than the pc board.
 If the pc board is less than 3.0 mm [.118 in.] thick, it should have flat surfaces with holes or channels large
enough and deep enough to receive any protruding components of the cage assembly.
3.2. Application Tooling
Power for seating tools must be provided by an application tool with a ram capable of supplying a downward
force of 44.5 N [10 lb-force] per contact.
CAUTION
Over driving of the cage assembly will deform parts critical to the quality of the assembly. Maximum force occurs prior to the
cage assembly bottoming on the pc board.
