ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
Seating Tool 91376-1
(Shown)
408-8500
CAUTION
Over-driving of the connector will deform parts critical to the quality of the connection. Maximum force occurs prior to the
connector bottoming on the pc board.
4. SEATING
1. Set seating height to the dimension shown in Figure 2 (application tool shut height will equal the tool
seating height PLUS the combined thicknesses of the pc board and support fixture). After seating, a
gap of no more than 0.10 mm [.004 in.] between the connector housing and the pc board is allowed.
NOTE
The seating height of 38.1 mm [1.50 in.] is a reference starting point. The seating height might have to be adjusted to properly
seat the connector onto the pc board.
2. Position the connector on the pc board so that contacts are properly aligned with the holes in the pc
board and pc board support fixture.
3. Sit the connector onto pc board until the open section of the contacts are resting securely on, but have
not fully entered, the holes in the pc board.
4. Position the seating tool onto the connector.
5. Center the seating tool (with the connector) under the ram of the applicator tool; slowly lower the ram
until it just meets the seating tool. Verify the alignment of the pc board support fixture, pc board,
connector, and seating tool.
CAUTION
Damage to the pc board, seating tool, or connector may occur if the seating height is improperly set, the pc board is not
properly positioned over the pc board support, or the seating tool is not properly seated on the connector before cycling the
applicator ram.
6. Cycle the ram according to instructions included with the application tooling. Check the connector for
proper seating using the requirements in Application Specification 114-13059.
7. Remove the pc board or re-position the pc board and pc board support fixture for seating additional
connectors.

5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
It is recommended that each operator be made aware of, and responsible for, the following steps of daily
maintenance:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean, soft brush, or lint-free cloth. DO NOT
use objects that could damage the tool or any of its components.
2. Ensure that the screws are in place and secured.
3. When the tool is not in use, store it in a clean, dry area.
Each seating tool is assembled and inspected before shipment. It is recommended that the tool be inspected
using Figure 3 immediately upon arrival to assure that it has not been damaged during shipment.
Regular inspections should be performed by quality control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the tool or be supplied to personnel responsible for the tool. The inspection frequency
should be based on the amount of use, working conditions, operator training and skill, and established
company standards.
