4.2 Standard Tool Ordering Procedure
Stacking Tooling
All the insertion tooling listed in Table 4-1 can be stacked in any combination to be
able to simultaneously press in any arrangement of stacked connectors. Tooling
holders are available in various lengths. Figure 4-1 shows a typical setup for a 4
pair by 8 column backplane signal module in a standard tool holder.
Ordering Insertion Tooling for Backplane Connectors
In order to insert a typical row of backplane connectors, it is necessary to select the
individual insertion tools and then pick the appropriate tooling holder (See
example).
Basic Procedure
1.
Determine the combination of signal modules to be inserted.
2.
Select the proper press-in tools from Table 4-1 and Table 4-2.
3.
Table 4-1 and Table 4-2 shows the tool widths. Record the width of each tool selected.
NOTE:
Make sure that if you require four of a particular tool, write down its length 4 times.
4.
Total the tool widths.
5.
Using the width just calculated, select the next largest tooling holder from Table 4-3. The tooling holder can be shorter
than the total tooling but not by more than 0.5 mm per side.
6.
The insertion tools and tooling holder selected above must be ordered separately.
Ordering Daughtercard Tooling
Daughtercard connectors only come in standard module sizes. The Daughtercard insertion modules lengths are based on the
module size. Therefore, insertion tools can be used individually for a connector assembly or stacked in a tool holder for
multiple connector assemblies. Select the specific tool for your connector from Table 4-3.
