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 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 cage 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, cage
assembly, and seating tool.
CAUTION
Damage to the pc board, seating tool, or cage assembly may occur if the seating tool is not properly seated on the cage
assembly before cycling the application tool.

a. the widest section of each compliant pin is inside its intended pc board hole
b. each alignment post is in its intended pc board hole
c. if present, the gap between the standoffs and the pc board is no more than 0.10 mm [.004 in.]
