Rail Part Number Rail Overall Length 62201-9501 24mm (0.94 in) 62201-9502 72mm (2.83 in) 62201-9503 156mm (6.14 in) 62201-9504 216mm (8.50 in) 62201-9509 254mm (10.0 in) 62201-9511 305mm (12.0 in) Reference: This Press-In Tool is 32.7mm (1.28 in.) long. Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Support The Impact™ 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 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 ZX2 Ortho Direct Ram module(s) into the PCB hole pattern. 2. Place the application tool on top of the ZX2 Ortho Direct Ram module with the back guide surface of the tool against the back of the ZX2 Ortho Direct Ram module. See Figure 2. PRESS-IN TOOL GUIDE SURFACE PRESS-IN TOOL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY ALIGNER Figure 2 PCB PCB ALIGNER 3. Using the application tool and an appropriate press, seat the Orthogonal Direct Ram module until there is less than 0.10mm (.004 in) clearance between the bottom of the plastic housing/aligner and the surface of the PCB. See Figure 3. 0.10mm .004 in. MAX. ALIGNER PCB 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.
