Impact™ Backplane Press-In Tool
Tool Setup
Depending on the number of connectors to be
installed and/or the press used, this tool can be
used alone or with a group of press-in tools,
mounted in a 62201-95XX rail (ordered separately).
See Figure 1.

Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Support
The Impact™ connectors require up to 3.6kg (8 lb) of force per pin to press into the PCB. To prevent excessive
PCB flexure and/or damage to the PCB, a support plate is strongly recommended directly beneath the connector
hole pattern.
Due to the custom nature of every application, Molex does not offer any PCB support plate. The customer must
furnish their own support plate.
When creating the PCB support plate, remember to allow clearance for the connector pins as they pass through
the PCB thickness.
Press Equipment Recommendations
Many types of presses can be used to install Impact™ connectors, but to assure consistent connector installation
Molex recommends the following press criteria:
1. The capability to detect force variations as low as 4.5kg (10 lb) during the press-in cycle; excessive force
measurements should stop the press-in cycle.
2. The rate of pressing can be regulated as low as 0.13mm (0.005 in) per second.
3. Press stroke control to within 0.25mm (0.010 in).
4. Total press stroke must be at least 19mm (0.75 in).
5. For statistical purposes, automatic collection of force and distance data.

Tool Operation
1. Insert by hand the backplane signal module
assembly (s) carefully into the PCB hole
MODULE
pattern. Make sure the connector(s) are
ASSEMBLY
oriented properly by confirming the location
of the #1 circuit notch with respect to the
PCB layout.
2. Insert the Press-In Tool making sure that
Figure 2
the notch in this tool is inserted into the slot
SLOT OF MODULE
on the connector housing. See Figure 2.
PCB
ASSEMBLY
3. Using the application tool and an
appropriate press, seat the header assembly until there is less than 0.10mm (.004 in) clearance between the
bottom of the plastic housing and the surface of the PCB. See Figure 3.
There should be no broken stand-offs along the
perimeter of the part (an indication of over-pressing).
