I-Trac™
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.

Tool Installation
The 62201-95XX rail is available in a variety of lengths to accommodate multiple press-in tools.

Reference: This Press-In Tool is 29.6mm (1.17 in.) long.
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Support
The I-Trac™ connectors require up to 1.81kg (4 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.

I-Trac™
Backplane Press-In Tool
Press Equipment Recommendations
Many types of presses can be used to install I-Trac™ 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. Carefully insert, by hand,
the backplane signal
module(s) into the PCB
hole pattern. Make sure
the connector(s) are
oriented properly by
confirming the location of
the #1 circuit notch with
respect to the PCB layout.
2. Insert the application tool
into the header assembly
with the orientation peg on
the tool entering the #1
circuit notch at the top of
the connector housing.
See Figure 2.
ORIENTATION
PEG
Figure 2
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.
0.10
.004
Figure 3
There should be no broken stand-offs along the perimeter of the part (an indication of over-pressing).
