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. NOTCH OF PRESS-IN TOOL MODULE ASSEMBLY SLOT OF MODULE ASSEMBLY PCB Figure 2 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 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. Tool Operation 1. Insert by hand the backplane signal module assembly (s) carefully into the PCB hole pattern. Make sure the connector(s) are oriented properly by confirming the location of the #1 circuit notch with respect to the PCB layout. 2. Insert the Press-In Tool making sure that the notch in this tool is inserted into the slot on top of the connector housing of the backplane signal module assembly. See Figure 2. 3. Using the application tool and an appropriate press, seat the header assembly until there is less than 0.10mm (.004 in) _0.10 MAX. clearance between the bottom of the plastic housing and the .004 surface of the PCB. See Figure 3. There should be no broken stand-offs along the perimeter of the part (an indication of over-pressing). 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.
