1. INTRODUCTION

QSFP cage assembly seating tool listed in Figure 1 is used to seat the cage assembly described in Figure 1

onto the pc board. The cage assembly contains compliant pin contacts to allow solderless pc board installation.

Read these instructions thoroughly before using the seating tool kit.

NOTE

Dimensions on this sheet are in metric units [with U.S. customary units in brackets]. Figures and illustrations are for reference

only and are not drawn to scale.

Each seating tool consists of a seating tool and a wall support. The seating tool has cutouts (two located on

each side) to accept the protruding part of the standoffs of the cage assembly. The wall support must be

installed into the ports of the cage assembly.

The top of the seating tool provides a surface to accept the force applied by the application tool to seat the

product onto the pc board. During seating, the back and sides of the seating tool protect the cage assembly

from damage. The wall support supports the individual ports of the cage assembly.

3. REQUIREMENTS

A pc board support must be used to provide proper support for the pc board and to protect the pc board and

the connector and cage assembly from damage. The support fixture must be designed for specific needs using
