5. TOOLING
For pc board applications where solder is used, no special tooling is required for hand placement of these
plugs and receptacles on the pc board, however the following information should be considered. Tooling part
numbers and instructional material packaged with the tooling are shown in Figure 16.
5.1. Application Tooling
Application tooling provides the force required to insert the plug or receptacle contacts into pc board holes. For
low--volume production, commercial hand--operated arbor presses, such as Greenerd 3A or 3B manual frame
assembly are available. The arbor presses must be fitted with an adapter kit as described in 408--9027. Power
units are designed for high--volume production. SM--3 machine is a pneumatic bench--mounted power unit
controlled manually with pc board sensing or pressure sensing operation.
5.2. Seating Tool
The seating tool must be used with application tooling for seating vertical receptacles with compliant pin
contacts. During seating, the tool aligns the plug or receptacle to ensure proper insertion into the pc board and
prevents damage to the contacts. Each tool is specifically designed for the number of rows in a plug or
receptacle.
5.3. PC Board Support
A pc board support should be used to prevent bowing of the pc board during the placement of a plug or
receptacle on the board. It should have flat surfaces with holes or a channel wide enough and deep enough to
receive the contact tines and boardlocks during installation of the plug or receptacle onto the board.
5.4. Robotic Equipment
The robotic equipment must have a true position accuracy tolerance of 0.25 to properly locate the plug or
receptacle for insertion. This includes gripper and fixture tolerances as well as equipment repeatability.
