3.2. Application Tooling
The seating tool is designed for use with an applicator
assembly, or similar manual machine with sufficient
ram surface and the capability of applying a maximum
insertion force of 178 N [40 lbs] per contact.
A pneumatic machine can also be used, provided the
equipment has positive shut--height stops.
CAUTION
!
If the seating tool and connector are improperly
aligned in the equipment, damage could occur to
the tooling, connector, or both.
After the tool has been installed and the equipment
has been set up with the pc board support fixture in
place, proceed as follows:
3.3. Seating Height
The seating height—the distance from the bottom
surface of the ram to the top of the pc board when
the ram is fully DOWN—must be set at the dimension
given in Figure 2 before starting the seating
procedure. The shut height equals the seating height
plus the combined thickness of the pc board and pc
board support fixture. See Figure 2.
1. Place the pc board with the proper hole pattern
onto the pc board support fixture.
2. Insert the contacts of the connector into the pc
board holes until the compliant pin area of each
contact starts to enter its pc board hole.
3. Position the side plates of the seating tool over
the connector to be seated.
4. SEATING PROCEDURE
4. Center the seating tool and connector under the
push surface of the ram.
When setting up equipment to seat connectors, pay
particular attention to the following:
5. Lower the ram slowly and verify the alignment of
the seating tool to the connector.
— make sure that the number of rows and
positions in the connector is identical to the
number of rows and position of rectangular blades
of the seating tool (refer to Figure 1)
— be sure that the seating tool and connector are
properly aligned and set (refer to Figure 2) before
cycling the application tooling
6. Apply force to the push plate of the seating tool
to seat the connector onto the pc board.
7. Manually retract the ram, and carefully remove
the seating tool.
8. Continue seating connectors as described until
all connectors have been seated.
