1. INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet covers the operation and
maintenance of Pistol Grip Seating Tool Head
58569-1. See Figure 1. The seating tool is used to
seat contacts into single-row AMPMODU MTE contact
housing assemblies. The seating head tool will seat
contacts in individual or strip form in a wire size range
of 30 to 22. Read these instructions thoroughly before
using the head.
All dimensions on this document are in metric units
[with U. S. customary units in brackets]. Figures are
for reference only and are not drawn to scale.
Reasons for revision of this document are given in
Section 7, REVISION SUMMARY.
2. DESCRIPTION
The seating tool is used in Manual Handle Assembly
58074-1, Bench-Mount Pneumatic Assembly 58338-1,
or Electric Power Unit 931800-1. When installed into
the appropriate power assembly, the seating tool will
seat plastic housings over the previously terminated
and inspected contacts of the single-row AMPMODU
MTE contact housing assemblies. Refer to 408-6919
for a complete description of AMPMODU MTE
connectors.
For information concerning the setup and operation of
the power assemblies, refer to instruction sheets
408-6790 and 408-9393, and to customer manual
409-5746. Note that the pneumatic assemblies are
designed to operate between 280-480 kPa [40 through
70 psi].
Before contacts can be seated into the housing
assemblies, all contact positions on the entire
carrier strip must be cycled through an insertion
station, even if a slot is intentionally left empty.
Features of the head and their functions are as
follows:
•Adjuster (Insertion Rod) - is a piston for the slide
bar and regulates its travel.
•Drive Bar - is the reversible block that actually
pushes against the contact housing.
•Slide Bar - is the guiding bar that maintains the
alignment of the drive bar, and guides it.
•Guide Cover - goes between the wire and the
carrier strip and provides backup support to the
carrier strip during seating.
3. SETUP AND ADJUSTMENTS
The seating depth adjustment on the insertion rod
adjuster is preset prior to shipment. If, after inspection,
it is determined that the contacts are not seated
properly, re-adjust the seating depth.
3.1. For Pistol Grip Manual Handle Assembly and
Electric Power Unit
1. Select a terminated connector.
2. Load connector into the seating tool and cycle the
tool.
3. Inspect seated connector according to Figure 6.
4. If contacts are properly seated in the housings,
remove connector from the seating tool and

breaks off.
5. If contacts are seated too deeply, decrease air
pressure by 69 kPa [10 psi] and repeat Steps 1, 2,
and 3.
Do not reduce air pressure below 280 kPa [40 psi].
6. If contacts are still seated too deeply at 280 kPa
[40 psi], remove the seating tool and turn the
insertion rod adjuster. A 1/6 revolution CLOCKWISE
(see Figure 2) will reduce seating depth
approximately 0.41 [.016].
7. Repeat Steps 1, 2, and 3.
8. If contacts are not seated deeply enough,
increase air pressure by 69 kPa [10 psi] and repeat
Steps 1, 2, and 3.
Do not raise air pressure above 480 kPa [70 psi].
9. If contact is still not seated deeply enough,
reduce air pressure back to 280 kPa [40 psi],
remove seating tool and turn insertion rod adjuster.
A 1/6 revolution COUNTERCLOCKWISE (see
Figure 2) will increase depth approximately 0.41
[.016].
10. Repeat Steps 1, 2, 3, 8, and 9 until the proper
seating depth is obtained.
3.3. Product Setup
The seating tool will seat the entire range of
AMPMODU MTE connectors. The position of the drive
bar is the only change that is required when using
different types of connectors.
1. For shrouded pin connectors, use the side of the
drive bar with the large shoulder.
2. For unshrouded pin and receptacle connectors,
use the side of the drive bar with the small shoulder.
To change the drive bar, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the 4-40 socket head cap screw.
2. Lift the drive bar off of the locating pin on the slide
bar.
3. Rotate the drive bar 180 degrees.
4. Replace the drive bar onto the same locating pin
on the slide bar.
If you experience difficulty in replacing the drive bar
onto the slide bar, apply pressure to the insertion
rod adjuster to move the slide bar .
5. Replace the 4-40 socket head cap screw.
3.4. Loading the Product Into the Tool
The connector strip should be moved to the
approximate center of the seating tool to ensure
smoother operation. There are two different methods
for loading product into the seating tool: side loading
and front loading.

A. Side Loading
To side load the connector into the seating tool, the
corner of the carrier strip is positioned under the edge
of the guide cover with the wires of the connector
assembly over the top of the guide cover. Adjust the
connector housing so that it is perpendicular to the
shoulder of the drive bar; then push on the side of the
connector until it is in proper position. See Figure 3.
The connector may be loaded from either side of
the seating tool.
Figure 3
B. Front Loading
To front load the connector into the seating tool,
position the connector directly onto the face of the
seating tool at the approximate seating position. The
carrier strip must be positioned above the guide cover.
With one finger, push down on the wires directly above
the carrier strip. See Figure 4, Detail A.
While holding the carrier strip down, push on the edge
of the housing so that the carrier strip is positioned
under the guide cover (see Figure 4, Detail B). When
the carrier strip is fully positioned under the guide
cover, the housing will be positioned beyond the edge
of the shoulder on the drive bar. At this point, push
down on the housing to seat it onto the shoulder of the
drive bar. See Figure 4, Detail B.

4. OPERATING PROCEDURE
Before operating the seating tool, it must be set up
for the proper seating edge, which is determined by
the selected connector type.
1. Select a terminated connector.
2. Load connector into tool.
3. Cycle the seating tool.

Damaged product should not be used. If a
damaged product is evident, it should be removed
and replaced with a new one.
5. TOOL INSPECTION
The procedures that follow have been established to
ensure the quality and reliability of seating tools. A
brief inspection should be made daily, and a more
detailed inspection should be scheduled regularly by
your Quality Control personnel.
5.1. User Maintenance
Each user should be made aware of, and responsible
for, the following:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and contaminants using
a clean brush or a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use
objects that could damage the seating tool.
2. Make sure all components are in place and
properly secured. If not, return the seating tool to
your supervisor.
3. Squeeze and release the cam handle to be sure
the mechanism inside the body moves freely and
does not bind.
5.2. Quality Control Maintenance
Regular inspections should be performed by your
Quality Control personnel, and a record of quality
control inspections should remain with the personnel
responsible for the tool.
We recommend one inspection a month; however,
operator training and skill, amount of use, ambient
working conditions, and your company's standards are
all factors to consider when establishing inspection
frequency.
These inspections should be performed in the
following sequence:
1. Remove any accumulated film with a suitable
cleaning agent that will not affect paint or
polycarbonate plastic.
2. Make sure all components are in place and are
tightly secured.
3. Make a few test seatings and inspect the results
using the inspection criteria in Application
Specification 114-25026.
6. REPAIR
A complete inventory of customer-replaceable parts
for the seating head tool should be stocked and
controlled to prevent lost time when replacement of
parts is necessary. See Figure 7. Order replacement
parts through your Tyco Electronics Representative, or
call 1-800-526-5142, or send a facsimile of your
purchase order to 1-717-986-7605, or write to:
