CAUTION
If the seating tool assembly and cage assembly are mismatched or are improperly aligned, damage could occur to the tooling,
cage assembly with heat sink, or both.
— tool seating height must be set to the dimension given in Figure 2 (application tool shut height will
equal the tool seating height plus the combined thicknesses of the pc board and pc board support).
NOTE
After seating, a gap of no more than 0.10 mm [.004 in.] between the cage assembly standoffs and the pc board is allowed.
Use the tool seating height as a reference starting point. This height may need to be adjusted to obtain the amount allowed
between the standoffs of the cage assembly and the pc board.

3. SEATING (See Figure 2)
NOTE
The connector and connector cover assembly and heat sink must be mounted on the pc board before seating the cage
assembly.
1. Place the pc board on the pc board support.
2. Orient the seating tool over the heat sink and cage assembly so that the back is aligned with the back
of the cage assembly. Then lower the seating tool onto the heat sink, making sure that the cutouts
slide over the protruding components of the cage assembly, until the seating tool bottoms on the top
of the heat sink.
3. Place the cage assembly (with wall support and heat sink) on the pc board so that the compliant pins
are aligned and started into the matching holes in the pc board.
4. Center the seating tool (with the cage assembly with wall support and heat sink) under the ram of the
application tool. Slowly lower the ram until it just meets the seating tool. Verify alignment of pc board,
pc board support, cage assembly with heat sink, and seating tool.
CAUTION
Damage to the pc board, seating tool assembly, cage assembly with heat sink may occur if the seating tool is not properly
seated on the heat sink before cycling the application tool.
5. Cycle the application tool to seat the cage assembly with heat sink on the pc board. Then retract the
ram, and carefully remove the seating tool by pulling it straight from the cage assembly with heat sink.
6. Remove the wall support from the cage assembly.
