4.1 Introduction
The right angle solder to board MetralTM receptacle may be soldered to the PCB by a number of different
processes. These soldering processes include wave, IR, and vapor phase soldering. On the underside of the
connector are two locating pegs. T hese pegs serve a dual purpos e. First, they help to locate the connector to the
PCB, as well as to adjacent connectors. Second, they serve as a retention feature during the heatstaking process.
The right angle solder to board receptacle has two options for board retention. These
methods include using a press peg or a heatstake peg as shown in Figure 2. The press peg is designed to provide
an interference fit with the corresponding hole in the PCB. The designed interference provides the retention of the
connector to the board. The heatstake peg is designed so that it can be hand inserted to the PCB. Once placed on
the PCB, the peg must be heatstaked. Figure 3 shows an example of what the heatstake peg should look like after
hot riveting. After the hot riveting process, the peg is riveted such that it is larger than the hole in the PCB.
Therefore, holding the receptacle in position. These retention designs have two purposes. First, the pegs provide
retention to the PCB during the board assembly processes. Secondly, these pegs absorb the loading from mating
and handling, thus protecting the solder joints from being exposed to forces.

4.3 Part Information
• Mating and Unmating Forces
• The maximum mating force required to plug a receptacle into a header is 1.5 N/contact (0.35
lbf). For example, part number 70231, which has a 4 x 2 pin matrix, has a maximum mating
force of 12 N (2.7 lbf) (1.5 N/contact * 8 contacts).
• The minimum unmating force required to unplug a receptacle from a header is 0.30 N/contact
(0.034 lbf). For exam ple, part number 70231 has a minimum retention force of 7.2 N (1.62 lbf)
(0.30 N/contact * 24 contacts).
• Board Application Forces
• The press peg product requires a maximum of 267 N/peg (60 lbf/peg) to seat the connector to
the PCB. Typical forces range from 200 N to 220 N (45 lbf to 50 lbf). The press peg has a
minimum retention force of 90 N/peg (20 lbf).
4.4 Materials
• Housing material is 30% glass filled LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer). It has an oxygen index of
38. The mass for the receptacle is shown in Table 4.

• Preferr ed rec eptacle placem ent is on 12 mm c enters. This enables the use of standar d tooling
for applying receptacles to the PCB.
• The bulk r esis tanc e will vary from r ow to row. T he maximum bulk resis tance is 10 mW/contact.
The typical values of bulk resistance is given in the table in Figure 7.
• To enable the application of receptacles, there is a recommended keep out zone for components.
Refer to Figure 8 for the recommended keep out zone.

All MetralTM 4 and 5 row right angle receptacles (power and signal) can be installed with
the same type of tooling.
The top tool is a modified “flat rock” press bar. The bottom tool serves as a board support
during insertion and is cleared out in the areas that the tails come thru the PCB.
TOP TOOL PRESS BAR 162325-XXX
If all of the MetralTM modules that are to be inserted are stacked end to end, you can use a standard press bar. If
you have groups of MetralTM connectors and then a space other than an even increment of 12 mm then you will
need a custom top tool.
STANDARD TOP TOOLS
162325-001 8 (12 mm) Modules
162325-002 12 (12 mm) Modules
162325-003 21 (12 mm) Modules
BOARD SUPPORTS (BOTTOM TOOLS) 162383-XXX
Some MetralTM users prefer to develop their own board supports or use a PCB with oversized holes. Either of these
practices is acceptable, but FCI also offers bottom tools for those customers who prefer factory tooling. The bottom
tools can be cut to the length needed.
