Printed Circuit Board Assembly
Protect the Header functional areas from conformal coating.
Ferrites must be immobilized by using conformal coating or
a bead of epoxy.
Secure Header onto the board
Headers must be secured to the board with 2 screws
• Use two, #4 self-tapping screws
• Torque: 2-3 in-lbs (0.23-0.34 Nm)
Refer to the Cinch Header drawings for board layout,
keep out areas and component height restrictions

• Refer to Cinch header prints for specic
board layout and spring plate selection.
Install heat sink spring plates
• Install the spring plates after the printed circuit
board has been processed.
• Spring plates are marked “R” and “L” and must
be installed as indicated.
• When using a one (1) heat sink, use spring plate
“R” only.
• Spring plates and thermally conductive adhesive
paste are necessary to guarantee proper heat
conduction through the heat sinks;
Cinch recommends Loctite 383.
