4. QUALIFICATIONS
AMP--LATCH Universal Headers are Listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) in File No. E28476, Certified
by CSA International in File No. LR 16455, and tested by Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) in File
No. 4751--9000--4009/A2D.
5. TOOLING
Tool Engineers have designed machines for a variety of application requirements. For assistance in setting up
prototype and production line equipment, contact the Tooling Assistance Center number listed at the bottom of page 1
or your local TE Representative.
Figure 10 provides tooling information and instructional material related to the AMP--LATCH Universal Headers
with ACTION PIN Contacts. For pc board applications where solder is used, no special tooling is required for
hand placement of these headers on the pc board, however the following information should be considered.
S
PC Board Support
A pc board support should be used to prevent bowing of the pc board during the placement of a header on
the board. It should have flat surfaces with holes or a channel wide enough and deep enough to receive
the contacts during installation of the header onto the board.
S
Seating Tool
The seating tool must be used with application tooling for seating headers with ACTION PIN Contacts.
During seating, the tool aligns the header to ensure proper insertion into the pc board and prevents
damage to the contacts. Each tool is specifically designed for the number of contacts in a header. See
Figure 10.
S
Power Units
Power units are automatic or semi--automatic machines used to assist in the application of a product. A
power unit supplies the force to seat the header onto the pc board using seating tools or flat--rock tooling.
Refer to Instruction Sheet 408--6926 for commercially available three--ton manual arbor frame assemblies.
