The Connector Editor
Purpose
The Connector Editor is used to enter and store physical data for the connectors. The data is stored in an
Access Database file. See Figure 23.
Figure 23
Entries
“Connector”
-
This is a name you give to the connector. It can be anything you choose, but is usually a
descriptive name or manufacturer’s part number.
“Tool”
-
Select the corresponding Press (Insertion) Tool for this connector from the pull down list
provided. The tool must be entered in the tool data base before the connector data can be completed.
“Profile”
-
This is the name of the profile file to be used when pressing the connector (entry required) .
“Sub Code”
-
Allows the option for connector substitution (example: different connector manufacturer).
Giving multiple connectors the same code will initiate a prompt asking operator to identify connector (type)
prior to press setup.
“Number of Pins”
-
Enter the TOTAL number of pins per connector. If more than 1 connector is to be
pressed at a time, enter the full pin count for all connectors to be pressed as a group. The number of pins
on a connector is used to calculate force when using max or min force per pin in the profile. It is also used
to calculate and graph the force per pin within the run screen.
“Comments”
-
This is a user field for useful comments.
GRAPH SCALE
–
These entries define the generated graph parameters for each press cycle.
—
“Force”
-
value entered defines the graph (Y) scale range (Force lbs/pins) and should be greater than
Max force / Pin + PARS %.
—
“Distance”
-
value entered defines the graph (X) scale height above board surface (start w/ .150).
