2. DESCRIPTION

Each seating tool is an assembly of a blade and an
adapter. Figure 2 matches tool part number to the size
(positions) of the pin header to be seated. The adapter
straightens the header, during the cycle of the
applicator ram, to provide proper insertion into the pc
board. Each tool is designed for a specific combination
of contacts in a row and number of rows in a header.
During seating, the tool sits inside the header housing
with the blades engaging the housing floor and contact
shoulders, preventing contacts from pushing out of 
the housing.
