Figure 1

1. INTRODUCTION

Seating Tools 91348-[ ], 91349-[ ], and 91375-[ ] are used to seat HM-Zd header connectors onto a pc board.

See Figure 1. Dash number indicates number of connector columns. The connectors contain eye-of-needle

contacts which allow solderless pc board installation.

NOTE

All numerical values in this instruction sheet are in metric units [with U.S. customary units in brackets]. Dimensions are in

millimeters [and inches]. Figures are not drawn to scale.

Read these instructions and understand them before using the seating tool.

Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are provided in Section 7, REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

The seating tool consists of an adapter and a blade. The blade contains a key(s) that properly orients the tool

to the connector.

During seating, the adapter provides a surface to accept the force applied by the application tool, and the blade

sits inside the connector engaging the housing floor and contact shoulders preventing the contacts from

pushing out of the housing.

3. REQUIREMENTS

3.1. PC Board Support Fixture (Custom Designed)

A pc board support must be used to provide proper support for the pc board and alignment of the tool to the

contacts and to protect the pc board and contacts from damage.
