1. INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet covers the assembly and
disassembly procedures for FORTIS Zd Metal Shell
Module Assembly Kits 2102114-[ ] and 2102077-[ ].
Each kit is designed to be assembled onto FORTIS Zd
2- or 3-pair center header modules arranged from 10
to
60 columns installed onto a printed circuit (pc) board.
Guide modules can also be used with the assembly.
The header modules and guide modules are not included
with the kit; however, they are available separately.
All numerical values in this instruction sheet are in

2. DESCRIPTION
Each module assembly kit consists of a metal shell
and backplate with self-locking attachment screws.
Four M2x0.4 screws, not included with the kit, are
required to attach the metal shell to the printed circuit
(pc) board. The length of the screws depends on pc
board thickness.
3. ASSEMBLY
1. Prepare the pc board using the recommended
pc board layout shown on the applicable customer
drawing for the module assembly kit or header modules.
2. Install the header modules and guide modules
onto
the pc board according to Application
Specification 114-13267.
3. Place the pc board with the installed modules,
compliant pin contact tails facing up, and the metal
shell, bottom (side with mounting holes) facing up,
on a flat surface.
To avoid damage to the modules or pc board, it is
recommended to place the pc board (with the
modules) and the metal shell on a flat surface.
4. Ensure that the pc board is de-energized.
To avoid personal injury, the pc board must be
de-energized before installing the metal shell onto
the modules.
5. Align the back of the metal shell with the header
modules. See Figure 2, Detail A. Gently slide the
metal shell over the header modules, making sure
that both sides of the header modules shrouds are
inside the metal shell and that no part of the metal
shell intrudes with the pin field. Continue sliding the

metal shell until the mounting holes of metal shell
align with the mounting holes of the pc board. See
Figure 2, Detail B.
6. Apply a low-strength threadlocker to each of the
customer-supplied screws. Then, thread the screws
through the mounting holes in the pc board and into
the mounting holes of the metal shell. Using a
screwdriver, tighten each screw to a torque of
.226 Nm [2 lb-in.]. See Figure 3.
7. Turn the assembly over so that the pc board is
sitting on the flat surface. See Figure 4. Fit the
backplate (with the countersinks facing outward)
over the back of the header module, and thread the
attachment screws into the screw holes of the
backplate. Tighten each screw to a torque of
.226 Nm [2 lb-in.].
4. DISASSEMBLY
The backplate and metal shell can be removed from
the header modules and pc board by removing the
attachment screws, then the customer-supplied screws.
5. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
Do not use defective or damaged components.
All components of the module assembly kit can be
re-used after disassembly.
