— 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.

2. SEATING (See Figure 2)
NOTE
The connector and connector cover assembly 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 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 cage assembly (with the wall support) 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) 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, and seating tool.
CAUTION
Damage to the pc board, seating tool assembly, or cage assembly may occur if the seating tool is not properly seated on the
cage assembly before cycling the application tool.
5. Cycle the application tool to seat the cage assembly on the pc board. Then retract the ram, and
carefully remove the seating tool by pulling it straight from the cage assembly.
6. Remove the wall support from the cage assembly.
7. Check the cage assembly for proper seating according to the following:
— widest section of each compliant pin is inside its intended pc board hole
— if present, the gap between the standoffs and the pc board is no more than 0.10 mm [.004 in.]
