For available application tools, call PRODUCT INFO
at the number at the bottom of page 1.
CAUTION
!
Over-driving of the connector assembly will deform
parts critical to the quality of the connection.
Maximum force occurs prior to the connector
assembly bottoming on the pc board.
4. SETUP
When setting up equipment to seat the connector
assembly, pay particular attention to the alignment of
the seating tool, connector assembly, and application
tool ram before cycling the application tool.
CAUTION
If the seating tool and connector assembly are
improperly aligned, damage could occur to the
!
tooling, connector assembly, or both.
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
connector 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 connector
assembly and the pc board.
5. SEATING (Figure 2)
1. Place the pc board on the support fixture.
2. Orient the seating tool over the connector
assembly so that the back plate is aligned with the
back of the connector assembly and the cutout is
aligned with the PoE chip set. Then lower the
seating tool until it bottoms on the connector
assembly.
3. Place the connector assembly on the pc board so
that the contacts and alignment posts are aligned
and started into the matching holes in the pc board.
4. Center the seating tool (with the connector
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 assembly, and seating tool.
CAUTION
!
Damage to the pc board, seating tool, or connector
assembly may occur if the seating tool is not
properly seated on the connector assembly before
cycling the application tool.
5. Cycle the application tool to seat the connector
assembly on the pc board. Then retract the ram,
and carefully remove the seating tool by pulling it
straight from the connector assembly. 
