support. Then manually insert a connector(s) into
the pc board. Position the loading head into the
connector. Actuate the press to press the connector
pins into the board.
1.2 Features
The press-in tooling is designed so that one
module will press in one connector, or several
modules can be mounted in a tool holder and be
used to press in any combination of connectors in
one operation. See Section 4-2 (Ordering
Instructions) for details.
1.3 Technical Specifications
Dimensions and Weight
The dimensions and weight depend on the tooling
used and the size of the pc board support.
Rate
90 connectors pressed in (one at a time) per hour
depending on operator skill.
1.4 Delivery Check
Carefully remove the tooling from its shipping
container and check to be sure what was received
matches the purchase order and no damage has
occurred.
1.5 Tools
A metric hex wrench set will be required to
assemble or disassemble tooling mounted in rails.

GbX® Backplane and Daughtercard Tooling
2.1
Printed Circuit Board Support
The GbX® tooling requires up to 10 lb. per pin of
force to press the connectors into the printed circuit
boards. Therefore, a backup or support is required
to prevent damage to the P.C. board. The support
fixture should have clearance for the connector
terminals when they protrude through the underside
of the P.C. board. It is also recommended that the
support fixture have locating pins. Due to the
custom nature of each application, Molex does not
supply support and locating fixtures, the customer
normally supplies them.
10. Press the connector into the P.C. board and
observe for any deflection of the board when the
ram is at the bottom of its stroke.
2.2
Press Stroke Adjustment
Most presses have some means of adjusting the
stroke; please refer to the appropriate manual (for
the press being used) for press stroke adjustments.
The stroke should be adjusted so that when the
press ram stops in the down position, the bottom of
the connector is flush to .25mm (.010 in.) above the
surface of the P.C. board. See Figure 2-1.
.25mm
(.010 in.)
Max.
The following is one simple way of making a P.C.
board support and locating fixture:
1. Locate a suitable piece of material for the
backup. It should be approximately 3/4 inch
thick and same size or a little larger than the
printed circuit board to be used. While
aluminum could be used, a rigid nonconductive
material such as a phenolic is preferred. (A
stack of scrap P.C. boards of suitable size could
be fastened together and used.)
2. Obtain a scrap P.C. board like the ones to be
assembled. Attach this board to the material
from step 1.
3. Using an oversize drill bit, drill through each
hole where a pin from the connector will go.
Drill deep enough into the lower material to be
certain the pins do not bottom out when inserted
(at least 5mm [0.20in] deep).
4. Locate two (2) holes on the P.C. board to use as
locating points. Drill for and mount suitably
sized dowel pins in these two locations on the
support fixture.
5. Clear out the support for any components
mounted on the underside of the printed circuit
board.
6 Place a P.C. board on top of the support,
located by the two pins, and check that the
holes for the connector pins are aligned.
7. Pre-insert a connector in the P.C. board in the
correct position.
8. Insert the press-in tool of proper size into the
connector.
9. Place the support with the P.C. board under the
press ram.

Installation
The only installation required is when you need to
install insertion modules into a tooling holder. To
do this, use the following procedure:
1. Along the lower edge of the tooling holder is a
row of M3 set screws, (See Figure 2-2), back
these out so that they do not protrude into the
inside of the holder.
KEYWAY
Figure 2-2
TOOLING HOLDER
M3 SET SCREW
2. Slide the insertion modules into the tooling
holder in the proper order. See Figure 2-3.
The modules are keyed so that they cannot be
put in backwards.

assembly on the user supplied support pallet.
4. Position the insertion tooling on the connector
assembly.
See Figure 2-9.
PRESS-IN-TOOL
PC BOARD
Daughtercard Tooling
Operation for inserting Daughtercard assemblies is
different because Daughtercard connectors are
available only in complete assemblies that are held
together with a stiffener rail, so therefore, insertion
tooling is only determined by the total assembly
length. The insertion module is 100mm long and can
be used alone or stacked in a tool holder for larger
connector assemblies.
1. Locate the Daughtercard connector assembly on
the printed circuit board.
2. Start the assembly into the board by hand. Check
for proper seating and bent pins under the
assembly after pre loading on to the P.C. board.

3.1. Cleaning
Once a day, the support fixture should be cleaned of dust and plating particles and other debris. Compressed air
may be necessary to remove debris from the pin clearance holes.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution when using compressed air for cleaning as it can cause debris to get
lodged in the tooling, and fly out at the operator. USE of proper safety glasses by the operator and onlookers
is required.
3.2
Lubrication
There is no lubrication required on any of the GbX® tooling. However, the presses each have their own
requirements for lubrication and maintenance. The instruction manual for the specific press being used should be
referred to. Molex provides a sheet for logging routine preventive maintenance in this section.

4.2 Standard Tool Ordering Procedure
Stacking Tooling
All the insertion tooling listed in Table 4-1 and 4-2 can be stacked in any combination so as to be able to
simultaneously press in any arrangement of stacked connectors. Tooling holders are available in various lengths.
Figure 4-1 shows a typical setup for a 4 pair by 25 wide signal module and a one up power module in a standard
tool holder.
Ordering Tooling for Backplane Connectors
In order to insert a typical row of backplane connectors, it is necessary
to select the individual insertion tools and then pick the appropriate
tooling holder (See example).
Basic Procedure
1. Determine the combination of signal modules and power modules
Figure 4-1
to be inserted.
TYPICAL INSERTION
2. Select the proper insertion modules from Table 4-1 and Table 4-2.
TOOL ASSEMBLY
3. Table 4-1 and Table 4-2 show the tool sizes. (L) Write down the
length of each tool selected.
NOTE: Make sure that if you require four of a particular tool, write down its length 4 times.
NOTE: When using two 10 wide backplane insertion modules to press in a 20 wide header, only one module
uses a side plate with a locating peg. On the second module, replace the pegged side plate with 62202-2003
un-pegged version.
4. Total up these lengths.
5. Using the length just calculated, select the next largest tooling holder from Table 4-3. The tooling holder can be
shorter than the total tooling but not by more than 0.5 mm per side.
62202-0205
6. All of the tools selected above must be ordered separately.
Example
To be inserted: (1) 4 pair 25 wide Backplane Signal Module and (1) 4
pair 1 up Power Module.
1. Look at Table 4-1 and find the required tools. In this case it would
be a 62202-2020 and a 62202-2005.
2. From Table 4-1 get the lengths of these tools. (Numbers may be
rounded up) 62202-2020 =46.25mm and 62202-2005 = 5.55mm.
3. Add these two values for a total of 51.80mm.
4. From the Tooling Holder list in Table 4-3, pick the 72mm long
holder, P.N. 62201-9502.
5. Thus the order to Molex should include the following:

Ordering Daughtercard Tooling
Daughtercard connectors only come in custom assemblies that are loaded in a stiffener rail. The daughtercard
insertion modules are 100 mm long. Therefore, insertion tools can be used individually for connector assemblies
that are shorter than 100mm. or stacked in a tool holder for connector assemblies that are longer.
Basic Procedure
1.
2.
Determine the combination of signal wafers and power modules to be inserted.
Determine the total length of the stack of components. Using that length, select the DaughterCard insertion
tools required to cover the whole connector assembly. If more than one 100mm module is used, a tool holder
of appropriate length will be needed. This can be selected from Table 4-3.

SIGNAL PINS
To remove damaged signal pins, grasp them with the needle
nose pliers and pull straight up from the board. It is
FIGURE 5-1
recommended that both pins in a pair be replaced. See Figure
5-1. In some cases it may be necessary to straighten a bent pin with the tweezers to allow access with the pliers.
NOTE: Never reuse a backplane signal pin once it has been removed. Also, no more than three pins should be
pressed into any plated through hole.
Replacement
To replace pairs of pins, use insertion tool no. 62202-2090.
Note: The pins are left and right handed and must be loaded into the connector in their proper orientation. They
should be positioned in the insertion tool so that the
INSERTION
ribs on the center of the pins are located in the
TOOL
grooves in the tip of the tool, facing the round
62202-2090
indentations. Due to the small size of the pins, a
tweezers may help in this operation. There should be
a slight friction fit when the pins are inserted all the
way in to the tip. See Figure 5-2. Carefully load and
push the pins down into the connector base until the
tool stops against the board. See Figure 5-3. Then
remove the inserter from the connector.

Preset the shield removal tool so the retention grippers are fully extended and there is no debris in the area shown in
Figure 5-4. Insert the tip of the removal tool into the connector with the grippers over the shield to be removed. Be
careful not to damage the metallic parts in the connector. Insert a 5/16“ T-handle (not supplied with this tool) into the
socket head screw on the top of the tool, (See Figure 5-5) and rotate clockwise until the tool grips the shield. Then
continue to turn the T-handle one complete rotation. Remove the tool and shield by lifting vertically from the
connector. Remove the shield from the tool by rotating the socket head screw counter-clockwise three complete
turns.
Replacement
To install a replacement shield, use the appropriate signal insertion module for the connector being repaired. The
shields must be installed with the protruding stiffening ribs facing away from the backplane notch on the connector
housing. See Figure5-6. Preload the shield in its proper location and then load the insertion module. Gently tap the
top of the insertion module with the plastic hammer until the shield is fully seated.

Power Module Replacement
Replacing a Power Module is similar to the one described for replacing a wafer. To install a new power
connector, set a support pallet beneath the PC board. This allows the pins to protrude below the board when the
connector is pressed on the board. Preload the new power module into the plated through holes. Place the press
block on top of the power module behind the tabs that hold the stiffener in place. Then gently tap the block with
the plastic hammer until the module is seated.
Stiffener Replacement
Place the stiffener back on the connector and align the slots with the tabs on the wafers. See Figure 5-13. Rotate
the Stiffener Press 180° so that the pins are on the top of the press and away from the stiffener. Use the jaws to
push the stiffener securely in place. See Figure 5-14. Rotate the knob on the press counter clockwise (CCW).
Check that the stiffener locating features are protruding through the slots in the back of the stiffener.

Glossary of Terms:
Backup (or support)
Pallet
Compliant Pin
Connector
Flat Platen Press
PC Board
Upper Tooling
A simple fixture used to locate and support a printed circuit while a compliant pin connector is
being pressed into the pc board. Considerable force is required to press one of these connectors
into a pc board, thus the pc board must be adequately supported to avoid being damaged.
It must have adequate clearance for the terminals when they protrude through the pc board.
A connector which has terminals that are designed to give slightly when pressed into a hole in a
pc board so that the terminal (pin) makes solid electrical contact with the printed circuit board,
alleviating the need for soldering.
A press in which the upper tooling or die set is not attached to the press ram. The ram has a
simple flat plate (or platen) attached to it. For this application, the upper tooling is positioned
in the connector(s). The press ram comes down on top this tooling and presses on it. When the
press ram goes back up, the upper tooling stays with the connector.
Abbreviation for printed circuit board
The tooling that goes on top of the connector. It contains the mounting block and dies (or tools)
necessary to properly apply pressure where required to push the connector terminals and locking
posts into the holes in the printed circuit board.
