Description
The following Instructions are
used for inserting the 2 by 1
connector into a PCB.
Operation
1. Place a connector assembly
on the PCB.
2. Place the tool on the
connector assembly (closed
end to the back end of the
connector). See Figure 2.
3. Place tool, connector, and
PCB, in a press of suitable
size and force, and seat the
connector assembly as shown. The support plate (furnished by the customer) under the PCB must have
clearance for the connector pins as they pass through the PCB.
Clearance
Use this tool only with a press that has a pre-determined shut height when seating a QSFP Assembly on a PCB.
See figure 3. Allowing the Press-In Tool to stop on the board will result in damage the QSFP cage and terminals
being over seated.
CAUTION: Molex application tooling specifications are valid only when used with Molex connectors and tooling.
