3.3 Termination
Procedure
WARNING
In keeping with good industrial hygienic practice, adequate ventilation must be
maintained whenever plastic materials are heated.
Step 1
Make sure that the set-up is completed (section 2), the tool is turned on and warmed up (para. 3.1),
and the TEMP and TIME controls are set (para. 3.2).
Step 2
Open the upper heat sink and the cable clamps.
Step 3
Load the assembly to be terminated onto the lower platen of the heating tool.
o
Position CTMs so that the top surface faces upward and the CTM is centered in the
platen.
o
Position MTC and SEM connector wafers against the stop in the platen, with the
contact numbers facing upward. The cable or wires should extend to the operator's
right.
o
Position round wires through the platen comb and close the clamp.
Step 4
Line up the edges of the cable (FCC) with the cable guide lines in the top surface of the heating
tool, and close the clamp(s) on the cable.
Step 5
Inspect to make sure that the cable or wires are fully inserted and properly positioned on top of the
solder terminals. Reposition cable or wires if necessary.
