INSTALLING PCB
1.
Use of the Vertical Header Insertion Tool requires alignment holes in a PCB that correspond to those on the tool (
Figure A
). For exact PCB alignment pin
hole locations and plated through-holes for compliant pins, please refer to the VTAC Vertical Header drawing (p/n 610 151 107) at vpc.com or use this
.
2.
With the top removed, insert the alignment pins into the alignment holes of the PCB (
Figure A
).
3.
Ensure that the compliant pins of the header(s) align with the plated through-holes on the PCB board (
Figure B
).
4.
Once the PCB has been securely placed on the base and properly aligned, add the tool top (
Figure C
).
5.
Press the top down onto the PCB and towards the base, pushing the compliant pins of the header into the PCB.
Do not over press.
6.
Remove the PCB from the tool, and verify the installation of each header to the PCB is correct. Each header should be flush to the PCB with a gap of no more
than .004” [.10 mm].
NOTE:
Each insert requires 10 lbs. [4.54 kg] of force to create a gas-tight seal when installed. Inserts should not be removed once in place. Visually inspect the pin
side of the PCB to ensure proper pin insertion.

Figure A. The PCB should have alignment holes to accept the
alignment pins of the insertion tool.
Figure B. Compliant pins align with the through-holes of the PCB.
PRESS-FIT TAILS OF INSERT SHOULD
ALIGN WITH THROUGH-HOLES
