Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Support The EdgeLine™ connector requires significant insertion force per pin to press into the PCB. To prevent excessive PCB flexure and/or damage to the PCB, a support plate is strongly recommended directly beneath the connector hole pattern. Due to the custom nature of every application, Molex does not offer any PCB support plate. The customer must furnish their own support plate. When creating the PCB support plate, remember to allow clearance for the connector pins and guide connector pegs as they pass through the PCB thickness. Press Equipment Recommendations Many types of presses can be used to install connectors, but to assure consistent connector installation Molex recommends the following press criteria: 1. The capability to detect force variations as low as 4.5kg (10 lb) during the press-in cycle; excessive force measurements should stop the press-in cycle. 2. The rate of pressing can be regulated as low as 0.13mm (0.005in) per second. 3. Press stroke control to within 0.25mm (0.010in). 4. Total press stroke must be at least 19mm (0.75in). 5. For statistical purposes, automatic collection of force and distance data.

Carefully insert, by hand, the connector into the PCB hole pattern. 2. Place the insertion tool on top of power connector. The two side guide surfaces of the tool should be in line with the side walls of the connector. See Figure 2. 3. Using the insertion tool and an appropriate press, seat the power connector until the bottom of the plastic housing and the surface of the PCB is flush as shown below.
