Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Support The Impact™ connectors require up to 6.0kg (13.2 lbs) of force per pin to press into the PCB. To prevent flexing or damage to the PCB, a support plate is strongly recommended directly beneath the connector terminal hole pattern. Due to the custom nature of every application, a board support is required for proper tool application. This can be supplied by the customer or by Molex. For more information contact Molex Application Tooling. When creating a PCB support plate, allow clearance for connector terminal pins that pass through the PCB. Press Equipment Recommendations Many types of presses can be used to install Impact™ 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 (0.005 in) per second. 3. Press stroke control to within 0.25mm (0.010 in). 4. Total press stroke must be at least 19mm (0.75 in). 5. For statistical purposes, automatic collection of force and distance data.

Carefully insert, by hand, the vertical Signal module(s) into the PCB hole pattern. Make sure the connector(s) are oriented properly to the PCB layout. 2. Line-up the Press-In tool so that the guide surfaces on the tool are in line with the sides of the vertical Signal module. See Figure 2. PRESS-IN TOOL PRESS-IN TOOL GUIDE SURFACES 0.10mm (.004”) Maximum SIGNAL MODULE Figure 2 Figure 3 PC BOARD 3. Using the application tool and an appropriate press, seat the Signal module until there is less than 0.10mm (.004 in.) clearance between the bottom of the plastic housing and the surface of the PCB. See Figure 3. CAUTION: To prevent injury, never operate any press without the guards in place. Refer to the press manufacturer’s instruction manual. CAUTION: Molex application tooling specifications are valid only when used with Molex connectors and tooling.
