Rail Part Number Rail Overall Length 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: The 62203-1350 Press-In Tool is 67mm (2.64 in.) long. Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Support The NeoPress plug requires a significant force to press the assembly 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 the NeoPress plug, 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. PRESS-IN TOOL 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. By hand, insert the plug assembly carefully into the PCB hole pattern. Make sure the connector is PCB oriented properly by confirming the location of the Figure 2 PLUG ASSEMBLY #1 circuit indicator with respect to the PCB layout. 2. Insert the Press-In Tool over the top of the connector housing until it rests on the connector. The tool is symmetric and can be placed two ways without damage to the connector. See Figure 2.

Using the application tool and an appropriate press, seat the plug assembly 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. 0.10 MAX. .004 Figure 3 PCB 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.
