Metral 5 Row 1000 & 2000 Series Right Angle Receptacle Insertion Tooling
The top tool is a modified “flat rock” press bar with side plates to support the ground shield during
insertion.
The bottom tool serves as a board support during insertion and is cleared out in the areas that the tails
come through the PCB.
Top Tool Press Bar 415754-5xx
If all of the Metral modules that are to be inserted are stacked end to end you can use a standard press
bar. If you have groups of Metral connectors and then a space other than an even increment of 12mm
then you will need a custom top tool.

Board Supports (Bottom Tools) 162383-XXX
Some Metral users prefer to develop their own board supports or use a PCB with oversized holes.
Either of these practices is acceptable but FCI also offers bottom tools for those customers who prefer
factory tooling. The bottom tools can be cut to the length needed.
