2. DESCRIPTION
Each module assembly kit consists of a metal shell
and backplate with self-locking attachment screws.
Four M2x0.4 screws, not included with the kit, are
required to attach the metal shell to the printed circuit
(pc) board. The length of the screws depends on pc
board thickness.
3. ASSEMBLY
1. Prepare the pc board using the recommended
pc board layout shown on the applicable customer
drawing for the module assembly kit or header modules.
2. Install the header modules and guide modules
onto the pc board according to Application
Specification 114-13267.
3. Place the pc board with the installed modules,
compliant pin contact tails facing up, and the metal
shell, bottom (side with mounting holes) facing up,
on a flat surface.
To avoid damage to the modules or pc board, it is
recommended to place the pc board (with the
modules) and the metal shell on a flat surface.
4. Ensure that the pc board is de-energized.
To avoid personal injury, the pc board must be
de-energized before installing the metal shell onto
the modules.
5. Align the back of the metal shell with the header
modules. See Figure 2, Detail A. Gently slide the
metal shell over the header modules, making sure
that both sides of the header modules shrouds are
