1. INTRODUCTION
RJ Point Five Connector Seating Tool Assemblies 2063000-1 and -2, shown in Figure 1, are used to seat 2 X 8
and 2 X 12 (respectively) receptacle connectors onto the pc board. The receptacle connector contains
compliant pin contacts to allow solderless pc board installation. Read these instructions thoroughly before using
the seating tool.
NOTE
Dimensions on this sheet are in metric units [with U.S. customary units in brackets]. Figures are not drawn to scale.
Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are provided in Section 8, REVISION SUMMARY.
2. DESCRIPTION (See Figure 1)
The seating tool consists of two sides, a back, and a top. It has cutouts (two located on each side and two
located on the back) to accept the protruding part of the standoffs of the receptacle connector.
The top of the seating tool provides a surface to accept the force applied by the application tool to seat the
receptacle connector onto the pc board. The seating tool is designed to position behind the panel ground
springs of the receptacle connector. During seating, the back and sides of the seating tool protect the
receptacle connector from damage.
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
receptacle connector from damage. The support fixture must be designed for specific needs using the following
recommendations:
it should be at least 25.4 mm [1 in.] longer and 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 receptacle connector

3.2. Application Tool
Power for seating tools must be provided by an application tool (with a ram) capable of supplying a downward
force of 44.5 N [10 lb-force] per contact. For available application tools, call PRODUCT INFORMATION at the
number at the bottom of Page 1.
CAUTION
Over-driving of the receptacle connector will deform parts critical to the quality of the connection. Maximum force occurs prior
to the receptacle connector bottoming on the pc board.
4. SETUP
When setting up equipment to seat the receptacle connector, pay particular attention to the following:
the seating tool must be properly aligned to the receptacle connector
CAUTION
If the seating tool and receptacle connector are improperly aligned, damage could occur to the tooling, receptacle connector,
or both.
the seating tool, receptacle connector, and application tool ram must be properly aligned before cycling
the application tool
NOTE
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 receptacle connector and the pc board.
5. SEATING (Figure 2)
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 receptacle connector standoffs and the pc
board is allowed.
2. Place the pc board on the support fixture.
3. Orient the seating tool over the receptacle connector so that the back is aligned with the back of the
receptacle connector. Then lower the seating tool onto the receptacle connector, making sure that the
cutouts slide over the protruding components of the receptacle connector, until the seating tool
bottoms on the top of the receptacle connector.

4. Place the receptacle connector on the pc board so that the contacts and alignment posts are aligned
and started into the matching holes in the pc board.
5. Center the seating tool (with the receptacle connector) 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,
receptacle connector, and seating tool.
CAUTION
Damage to the pc board, seating tool, or receptacle connector may occur if the seating tool is not properly seated on the
receptacle connector before cycling the application tool.
6. Cycle the application tool to seat the receptacle connector on the pc board. Then retract the ram, and
carefully remove the seating tool by pulling it straight from the receptacle connector.
7. Check the receptacle connector 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. the receptacle connector is seated on the pc board with a maximum seating height- measured from
the top of the receptacle connector (not including the panel ground springs) to the top of the pc
board-given in Figure 2.
d. if present, the gap between the standoffs and the pc board is no more than 0.10 mm [.004 in.]
6. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
The seating tool is assembled and inspected before shipment. It is recommended that the seating tool 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 is not in use, store it 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.
7. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
Customer-replaceable parts are listed in Figure 3. Parts other than those listed should be replaced by TE to
ensure quality and reliability. For customer repair service or to order replacement parts, call 1-800-522-6752, or
