For the alternate method, use an opaque inspection template drilled in a pattern matching the socket

locations. There should be no large points of light with the template in place. A loading mask used in

conjunction with a mass loading machine will serve this purpose.

3.7. Wave Soldering Consideration

Both AUGAT HOLTITE Sockets and soldered components may be loaded on a pc board. However, either the

AUGAT HOLTITE Sockets or their respective plated through holes must be masked to avoid being filled with

solder during wave soldering. If the socket can be contained within the pc board, it may be loaded first, and

then masked with heat--resistant tape or liquid solder mask prior to soldering to other components. If the socket

would protrude through the pc board, the appropriate plated through holes should be masked and wave

soldering performed first. Then, the masking is to be removed, and the AUGAT HOLTITE Sockets may be

installed. See Figure 5.

3.8. Repair/Replacement

If a socket has been damaged, it must be removed and replaced with a new one. In order to remove a

damaged socket, lay the circuit board flat, circuit fingers up on a suitable backing material such as a dense

foam board or pad. Place a drill blank on top of the socket fingers, making sure it is properly aligned, and tap it

gently with a small hammer until it releases from the pc board. See Figure 6.

It may be necessary, if the socket fingers are damaged, to break off the individual finger elements before

removing the socket barrel using the previous technique. Installation of a single replacement socket can then

be accomplished.

4. QUALIFICATIONS

These sockets are Qualified to MIL--S--83505/6D. However, they are not required to be Recognized by

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL); or Certified to CSA International.

5. TOOLING

TE has existing tooling and tooling concepts for applying these sockets. Part numbers of available tooling and

the applicable instructional material for each is provided in Figure 7.

S

PC Board Support

A pc board support must be used to prevent bowing of the pc board during insertion of the sockets. It

should have a flat surface with holes or a channel large enough to receive the sockets during installation.

S

Hand Tool

The insertion portion of the tool is designed to remove the sockets from their respective carrier cards

and selectively insert them into the plated--through hole on the pc board. Individual pressing and seating

is then accomplished using the correct insertion tip and hand tool.

S

Pneumatic Hand Tool System

The pneumatic tooling system is designed to individually seat the sockets after they have been inserted

into the plated--through hole on the pc board. The tip of the pneumatic hand tool is inserted into the

socket and the impact button is depressed. The socket is accurately seated into the plated--through

hole. Pressure adjustments and variable tip sizes on the pneumatic hand tool allow this system to work

with any size socket.
