1. INTRODUCTION

Seating Tool Assemblies 1320142--[ ] and 356198--[ ]

are designed to seat CHAMP .050 Series I Blindmate

press--fit and extended height press--fit vertical

receptacle connectors. The connectors contain

compliant pin contacts to allow solderless pc board

installation. Each seating tool is specifically designed

for the number of rows in a connector. See Figure 1.

Read these instructions and understand them before

using the seating tool.

Dimensions on this sheet are in metric units [with

U.S. customary units in brackets]. Figures are not

drawn to scale.

REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

During seating, the seating tool covers the connector

and presses on the top surface of the connector when

the applicator ram applies force to the seating tool.

The pc board is positioned onto a pc board support

fixture for support.

3. REQUIREMENTS

A pc board support must be used to provide proper

support for the pc board and alignment of the seating

tool to the contacts, and to protect the pc board and

and connector from damage. The board support

fixture must be designed for specific needs using the

recommendations in Instruction Sheet 408--6927.
