Dimensions on this sheet are in metric units [with U.S. customary units in brackets]. Figures and illustrations are for reference

2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)
Each seating tool consists of a seating tool and a wall support. The seating tool has cutouts (two located on
each side) to accept the protruding part of the standoffs of the cage assembly. The wall support must be
installed into the ports of the cage assembly.
The top of the seating tool provides a surface to accept the force applied by the application tool to seat the
product onto the pc board. During seating, the back and sides of the seating tool protect the cage assembly
from damage. The wall support supports the individual ports of the cage assembly.
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. PC Board Support Fixture (Customer Supplied)

the connector and cage assembly from damage. The support fixture must be designed for specific needs using
the following recommendations:
 it should be at least 25.4 mm [1 in.] longer and wider than the pc board
 it should have flat surfaces with holes or a channel large enough and deep enough to receive any
protruding components of the product
