Series No. Guide Style Columns Assembly Order Number 203930 Open 8 203930-1805 TOOL SETUP Depending on the number of connectors to be installed or the press used, this tool can be used as a stand-alone tool or with a group of insertion tools mounted in a 62201-95XX rail (ordered separately). See Figure 1. ALONE WITH 62201-95XX RAIL Figure 1 TOOL INSTALLATION The 62201-95XX rail is available in a variety of lengths to accommodate multiple insertion tools: Rail Part Number 62201-9501 62201-9502 62201-9503 62201-9504 62201-9509 62201-9511 Rail Overall Length 24mm (.940”) 72mm (2.83”) 156mm (6.14”) 216mm (8.50”) 254mm (10.0”) 305mm (12.0”) Reference: The 200214-1540 insertion tool is 16.6mm (.65”) long. Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Support The Impulse connectors require approximately 13N (3 lbs.) of force per pin to press 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 a PCB support plate. Customers must furnish their own support plates. Doc.

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 (.005”) per second. 3. Press stroke control should be within 0.25mm (.010”). 4. The total press stroke must be at least 19.0mm (.75”). 5. For statistical purposes, presses should automatically collect force and distance data. TOOL OPERATION 1. By hand, carefully insert the backplane signal module into the PCB hole pattern. Make sure the connector is oriented properly on the PCB by confirming the location of the #1 circuit notch with respect to the PCB layout. 2. Place the tool into the module. The tool can be placed in either direction. See Figure 2. INSERTION TOOL MODULE ASSEMBLY PCB Figure 2 3. Using the insertion tool and an appropriate press, seat the header assembly 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. _0.10mm MAX. .004” 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 tooling crimp specifications are valid only when used with Molex connectors and tooling.
