3.11. Checking Assembly

After assembly, the cage assembly panel grounding feature must be compressed by the bezel. A slight bow in

the cage assembly is permitted. The bezel and pc board must positioned according to the dimensions shown in

Figure 6.

3.12. EMI/Dust Plug

An EMI/Dust Plug should be installed into its respective port when the module is not mated with the cage

assembly.

3.13. Repair and Rework

Damaged or defective connector and cage assemblies must be removed and replaced.

If repair or rework to the pc board requires soldering after the connector and cage assembly has been seated

onto the pc board, the following must apply:

--- After soldering, removal of fluxes, residues, and activators is necessary. Consult with the supplier of

the solder and flux for recommended cleaning solvents. Cleaners must be free of dissolved flux and other

c

ontaminants. Even when using a “no clean” solder paste, it is imperative that the contact interface be

kept clean of flux and residue (since it acts as an insulator).

DANGER

Consideration must be given to toxicity and other safety requirements recommended by the solvent manufacturer. Refer to the

manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for characteristics and handling of cleaners. Trichloroethylene and

Methylene Chloride is not recommended because of harmful occupational and environmental effects. Both are carcinogenic

(cancer-causing).

--- Air drying is recommended. Otherwise, make sure that temperature limitations are not exceeded:

-55° to 105°C [-67° to 221°F]. Excessive temperatures may cause housing degradation.
