Description
The following
Instructions are used for
inserting the 2-by-12
connector into a PCB:
Operation
1. Place a connector assembly on the PCB.
2. Place the tool on the connector assembly (closed end to the back end of the connector). See Figure 2.
3. Place tool, connector and PCB in a press of suitable size and force, and seat the connector assembly as
shown. The support plate (furnished by the customer) under the PCB must have clearance for the connector
pins as they pass through the PCB.
Clearance
Use this tool only with a press that has a predetermined shut height when seating a zSFP+ assembly on a PCB.
See Figure 3. Allowing the press-in tool to stop on the board will result in damage to the zSFP+ cage and the
terminals being overseated.
CAUTION: Molex application tooling specifications are valid only when used with Molex connectors and tooling.
