PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) SUPPORT The Impulse connectors require up to 3.6kg (8 lb.) of force per pin to insert into the PCB. To prevent excessive PCB flexure 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. Customers must furnish their own support plates. 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 Impulse connectors, but to assure consistent connector installation, Molex recommends the following press criteria: 1. Presses should have the capability to detect force variations as low as 4.5kg (10 lb.) during the insertion cycle; excessive force measurements should stop the insertion cycle. 2. The rate of pressing can be regulated as low as 0.13mm (0.005”) per second. 3. Press stroke control should be within 0.25mm (0.010”). 4. The total press stroke must be at least 19mm (0.75”). 5. For statistical purposes, presses should automatically collect force and distance data. OPERATION 1. By hand, carefully insert the Orthogonal Direct RAM module(s) into the PCB hole pattern. 2. Place the application tool on top of the Orthogonal Direct RAM module with the back guide surface of the tool against the back of the Orthogonal Direct RAM module. See Figure 2.

Using the application tool and an appropriate press, seat the Orthogonal Direct RAM module until there is less than 0.10mm (.004”) clearance between the bottom of the plastic housing and the surface of the PCB. See Figure 3. Figure 3 0.10mm .004 in. MAX. PCB There should be no broken standoffs along the perimeter of the part (an indication of overpressing). 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.
