2.
After the metal stiffener is
positioned correctly on the
module assembly, place the
Stiffener Removal Tool on the
connectors as shown in Figure 4.
The installation of the metal
stiffener does not use the removal
pins.
3.
Position the tool so it will fit over
the connectors. Turn the knob in
either direction allowing the tool to
open or close enough so the
module assembly fits between the
press block and the stiffener locator. The stiffener locator should touch the straight edge of the metal stiffener.
See Figure 4.
4.
Turn the knob on the tool counter clockwise (CCW) so the stiffener locator moves toward the press block. See
Figure 5. For excessively long assemblies it may be necessary to gradually install the stiffener by moving the
tool along the length of the assembly.
5.
Do not turn the knob excessively. When the knob becomes difficult to turn, this is an indication that the
stiffener is seated fully.
Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of, and responsible for, the following
maintenance steps:
1.
Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean brush, or soft, lint free cloth.
2.
Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool.
3.
Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high quality
machine oil. Do not oil excessively.
4.
When tool is not in use, store in a clean, dry area.
CAUTION
: Molex specifications are valid only when used with Molex connectors and tooling.
