NOTE

The connector must be mounted on the pc board BEFORE seating the cage assembly.

1. Place the pc board on the support fixture.

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.

5. Cycle the application tool to seat the cage assembly on the pc board. Then retract the ram, and

carefully remove the seating tool by pulling it straight from the cage assembly.

6. Check the cage assembly for proper seating according to the following:

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.]

NOTE

For detailed application requirements of the cage assembly, refer to the application specification given in Figure 1.

6. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

The seating tool kit is assembled and inspected before shipment. It is recommended that the seating tool kit be

inspected immediately upon arrival at your facility to ensure that it has not been damaged during shipment, and

that it conforms to the dimensions provided in Figure 3.

6.1. 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 contaminants with a clean, soft brush or a lint-free cloth. DO NOT use

objects that could damage the components.

2. When the seating tool and wall support are not in use, store them in a clean, dry area.

6.2. 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 seating tool kit. Inspection

frequency should be based on amount of use, working conditions, operator training and skill, and established

standards.
