CAUTION
!
Over-driving of the connector and cage assembly
will deform parts critical to the quality of the
connection. Maximum force occurs prior to the
connector and cage assembly bottoming on the pc
board.
4. SETUP
When setting up equipment to seat the connector and
cage assembly, pay particular attention to the
following:
• The seating tool must be matched to the
connector and cage assembly.
CAUTION
!
If the seating tool and connector and cage
assembly are mismatched or are improperly
aligned, damage could occur to the tooling,
connector and cage assembly, or both.
• The wall support must be properly installed, and
the seating tool, connector and cage assembly, and
application tool ram must be properly aligned before
cycling the application tool
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
cage assembly standoffs and the pc board is
allowed.
NOTE
i
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 cage
assembly and the pc board.
2. Slide the wall support into the port(s) of the cage
assembly until the wall support is secure.
5. SEATING (see Figure 2)
1. Place the pc board on the support fixture.
2. Orient the seating tool over the cage assembly so
that the back is aligned with the back of the cage
assembly. Then lower the seating tool onto the cage
assembly, making sure that the cutouts slide over
the protruding components of the cage assembly,
until the seating tool bottoms on the top of the cage
assembly.
3. Place the connector and cage assembly on the
pc board so that the contacts are aligned and
started into the matching holes in the pc board.
4. Center the seating tool (with the connector and
cage assembly) under the ram of the application
tool. Slowly lower the ram until it just meets the
seating tool. Verify alignment of pc board support,pc
board, connector and cage assembly, and seating
tool.
