Assembly Instructions for the Easy-PressFIT Modules
Each of the tools has two parts. The first part presses against the underside of the module, and the second part
holds the PCB in place to be pressed against.
No components can be placed in the mounting areas of this special type of press-fitting tool. This prevents
damage during the press-fitting process.
When press-fitting multiple modules onto a PCB, arrange the press-in tool in such a way that the modules are
on the same level after pressing. In this way, the modules can be mounted on the heat sink with a good thermal
connection.

The drawing can be adjusted according to different requirements (e.g. module pinning and top side assembly
of other parts) and the tools produced by a manufacturer of choice.
3.1.1
Press-in tools for Easy modules with thermal interface material
If modules with pre-applied thermal interface material (TIM) are used, the press-in stamp has to be designed
with respect to the position of the TIM material on the module’s base plate. Figure 8 shows the picture of an
Easy2B module with TIM.
