3.2. Application Tool
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. For available application tools, call PRODUCT INFORMATION at the
number at the bottom of Page 1.
CAUTION
Over-driving of the receptacle connector will deform parts critical to the quality of the connection. Maximum force occurs prior
to the receptacle connector bottoming on the pc board.
4. SETUP
When setting up equipment to seat the receptacle connector, pay particular attention to the following:
 the seating tool must be properly aligned to the receptacle connector
CAUTION
If the seating tool and receptacle connector are improperly aligned, damage could occur to the tooling, receptacle connector,
or both.
 the seating tool, receptacle connector, and application tool ram must be properly aligned before cycling
the application tool
NOTE
Use the tool seating height as a reference starting point. This height may need to be adjusted to obtain the amount allowed
(maximum of 0.10 mm [.004 in.]) between the standoffs of the receptacle connector and the pc board.
5. SEATING (Figure 2)
1. Set tool seating height to the dimension shown in Figure 2 (application tool shut height will equal the
tool seating height PLUS the combined thicknesses of the pc board and support fixture). After seating,
a gap of no more than 0.10 mm [.004 in.] between the receptacle connector standoffs and the pc
board is allowed.
2. Place the pc board on the support fixture.
3. Orient the seating tool over the receptacle connector so that the back is aligned with the back of the
receptacle connector. Then lower the seating tool onto the receptacle connector, making sure that the
cutouts slide over the protruding components of the receptacle connector, until the seating tool
bottoms on the top of the receptacle connector.
