Replacement methods
Background
Connector pins are designed to withstand a considerable removal force. An impact-type
tool is used to generate a controlled removal force. Similarly, proper insertion of a press-fit
connector pin is done with an impact-type tool to control the insertion forces and not
damage adjacent pins.
Precautions
Read the following Important statements before proceeding:
Important!
Any press-fit connector pin may be removed and replaced
one time
in
the 1665 DMX backplane. A second removal and replacement in the same plated-
through hole may not meet the long-term reliability objectives. If a replacement is
needed for a previously replaced connector pin, contact your next level of support
before proceeding.
Important!
Protect the surrounding area from any debris which may be generated
during the pin removal and replacement.
