Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Support The Impel connectors require up to 3.6kg (8 lb) of 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 as they pass through the PCB thickness. Press Equipment Recommendations Many types of presses can be used to install Impel 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 Daughtercard module(s) into the PCB hole pattern. 2. Place the application tool on top of the Daughtercard module with the back guide surface of the tool against the back of the Daughtercard module. See Figure 2. GUIDE SURFACE Figure 2 3. Using the application tool and an appropriate press, seat the Daughtercard 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. 0.10mm .004 in. MAX. Figure 3 There should be no broken stand-offs along the perimeter of the part (an indication of over-pressing). 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.
