4. USING THE SEATING TOOL
1. Set the seating height to the dimension shown in
Figure 2 (applicator shut height will equal the
seating height PLUS the combined thicknesses of
the pc board and pc board support fixture).
2. Position the pin header onto pc board so that the
contacts are properly aligned with the holes in the
pc board and pc board support fixture.
3. Insert the pin header into pc board until the open
portion of the contacts are resting securely on, but
have not fully entered, the pc board.
4. Position the seating tool onto the pin header
making sure that the seating tool is bottomed on the
housing floor.
5. Center the seating tool and pin header under the
applicator ram of the power source; then slowly
lower the ram until it just meets the seating tool.
Verify the alignment of the pc board support fixture,
pc board, pin header, and seating tool.
CAUTION
!
Damage to the pc board, seating tool, or pin header
may occur if the seating height is improperly set, or
if the seating tool is not properly seated on the pin
header before cycling the applicator ram.
6. Cycle the applicator ram according to instructions
included with the power source.
7. Check the pin header for proper seating using the
requirements in Application Specification 114-19029.
5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
The seating tool is assembled and inspected before
shipment; however, it is recommended that the seating
tool be inspected immediately using Figure 3 upon
arrival at your facility to assure that it has not been
damaged during shipment.
5.1. Daily Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator be made aware
of, and responsible for, the following steps of daily
maintenance:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
with a clean, soft brush, or lint-free cloth. DO NOT
use objects that could damage any components of
the seating tool.
2. Ensure that the socket set screws are in place
and secured.
3. When the seating tool is not in use, store it in a
clean, dry area.
5.2. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspections should be performed by quality
control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the seating tool or be supplied to
personnel responsible for the tool. The inspection
frequency should be based on the amount of use,
working conditions, operator training and skill, and
established company standards.
