SMALL FORM FACTOR PLUGGABLE PRESS-FIT CAGE

Single sided board layout

These cages are designed to be pressed into a PWB with an insertion force of

about 60 lbs total (Each of the 8 press fit pins require an approximate force of

7.5 lbs/pin). For best installation, a solid piece of stainless steel or similar metal

should be placed flat across the top surface of the cage.

Care should be taken not to twist or tilt the cage during the installation process.

Excessive force will result in damage to the unit. A press machine similar to the

MEP-6T/12T manufactured by Automated Services Group, West Palm Beach, FL

would be fine for cage installation.

Cage removal is very easy. Simply insert a flat metal bar or similar object into the

cage assembly and lift it up off the PWB. It takes 27 lbs to remove a cage from a

PWB. Actual insertion and removal force may vary depending on plating mate-

rial and finished hole size.
