2. DESCRIPTION
The seating tool consists of an adapter and a blade. The blade contains a key(s) that properly orients the tool
to the connector.
During seating, the adapter provides a surface to accept the force applied by the application tool, and the blade
sits inside the connector engaging the housing floor and contact shoulders preventing the contacts from
pushing out of the housing.
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. PC Board Support Fixture (Custom Designed)
A pc board support must be used to provide proper support for the pc board and alignment of the tool to the
contacts and to protect the pc board and contacts from damage.
