manually bend carrier strip up and down until it

breaks off.

5. If contacts are seated too deeply, remove the

head and turn the insertion rod adjuster

CLOCKWISE. A 1/6-revolution adjustment will

reduce the seating depth approximately 0.41 [.016].

See Figure 2.

6. Repeat Steps 1, 2, and 3.

Figure 2

7. If contacts are not seated deeply enough, remove

the seating tool and turn the insertion rod adjuster

COUNTERCLOCKWISE. A 1/6-revolution

adjustment will increase the seating depth

approximately 0.41 [.016]. See Figure 2.

8. Repeat Steps 1, 2, and 3.

3.2. For Bench-Mount Pneumatic Assembly

1. Select a terminated connector.

2. Load connector into seating tool and cycle the

tool.

3. Inspect seated connector according to Figure 6.

4. If contacts are properly seated in the housings,

remove connector from the seating tool and

manually bend the carrier strip up and down until it

breaks off.

5. If contacts are seated too deeply, decrease air

pressure by 69 kPa [10 psi] and repeat Steps 1, 2,

and 3.

Do not reduce air pressure below 280 kPa [40 psi].

6. If contacts are still seated too deeply at 280 kPa

[40 psi], remove the seating tool and turn the

insertion rod adjuster. A 1/6 revolution CLOCKWISE

(see Figure 2) will reduce seating depth

approximately 0.41 [.016].

7. Repeat Steps 1, 2, and 3.

8. If contacts are not seated deeply enough,

increase air pressure by 69 kPa [10 psi] and repeat

Steps 1, 2, and 3.

Do not raise air pressure above 480 kPa [70 psi].

9. If contact is still not seated deeply enough,

reduce air pressure back to 280 kPa [40 psi],

remove seating tool and turn insertion rod adjuster.

A 1/6 revolution COUNTERCLOCKWISE (see

Figure 2) will increase depth approximately 0.41

[.016].

10. Repeat Steps 1, 2, 3, 8, and 9 until the proper

seating depth is obtained.

3.3. Product Setup

The seating tool will seat the entire range of

AMPMODU MTE connectors. The position of the drive

bar is the only change that is required when using

different types of connectors.

1. For shrouded pin connectors, use the side of the

drive bar with the large shoulder.

2. For unshrouded pin and receptacle connectors,

use the side of the drive bar with the small shoulder.

To change the drive bar, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the 4-40 socket head cap screw.

2. Lift the drive bar off of the locating pin on the slide

bar.

3. Rotate the drive bar 180 degrees.

4. Replace the drive bar onto the same locating pin

on the slide bar.

If you experience difficulty in replacing the drive bar

onto the slide bar, apply pressure to the insertion

rod adjuster to move the slide bar .

5. Replace the 4-40 socket head cap screw.

3.4. Loading the Product Into the Tool

The connector strip should be moved to the

approximate center of the seating tool to ensure

smoother operation. There are two different methods

for loading product into the seating tool: side loading

and front loading.
