block and side plates protect the connector assembly,
and the back plate supports the back of the connector
assembly.
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. PC Board Support Fixture (Customer Supplied)
A pc board support must be used to provide proper
support for the pc board and to protect the pc board
and the connector and connector assembly from
damage. The support fixture must be designed for
specific needs using the following recommendations:
2. DESCRIPTION
• it should be at least 25.4 mm [1.0 in.] longer and
The seating tool consists of a top block, two side
plates, and a back plate. The back plate has a cutout
designed to accept the power-over-ethernet (PoE)
chip set of the connector assembly during seating of
the connector assembly. See Figure 1.
wider than the pc board
• it should have flat surfaces with holes or a channel
large enough and deep enough to receive any
protruding components of the connector assembly
The top block provides a surface to accept the force
applied by the application tool to seat the connector
assembly onto the pc board. During seating, the top

assembly bottoming on the pc board.
4. SETUP
When setting up equipment to seat the connector
assembly, pay particular attention to the alignment of
the seating tool, connector assembly, and application
tool ram before cycling the application tool.
1. Set tool seating height to the dimension shown in
Figure 2 (application tool shut height will equal the
tool seating height PLUS the combined thicknesses
of the pc board and support fixture). After seating, a
gap of no more than 0.10 mm [.004 in.] between the
connector assembly standoffs and the pc board
is allowed.
i
Use the tool seating height as a reference starting
point. This height may need to be adjusted to
obtain the amount allowed (maximum of 0.10 mm
[.004 in.]) between the standoffs of the connector
assembly and the pc board.
Seating Tool
1. Place the pc board on the support fixture.
2. Orient the seating tool over the connector
assembly so that the back plate is aligned with the
back of the connector assembly and the cutout is
aligned with the PoE chip set. Then lower the
seating tool until it bottoms on the connector
assembly.
3. Place the connector 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 connector
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,
connector assembly, and seating tool.
CAUTION If the seating tool and connector assembly are
improperly aligned, damage could occur to the
tooling, connector assembly, or both.
!
NOTE
5. SEATING (Figure 2)
CAUTION Damage to the pc board, seating tool, or connector
assembly may occur if the seating tool is not
properly seated on the connector assembly before
!
cycling the application tool.
5. Cycle the application tool to seat the connector
assembly on the pc board. Then retract the ram,
and carefully remove the seating tool by pulling it
straight from the connector assembly.

board with a seating height of 25.22 mm [.993 in.]
measured from the top of the connector assembly
(not including the panel ground springs) to the top
of the pc board
d. if present, the gap between the connector
assembly standoffs and the pc board is no more
than 0.10 mm [.004 in.]

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 is not in use, store it in a
