The design and construction of EESeal® FilterSeals makes them easy to install by hand, without special tools, but care is needed to ensure proper insertion.

Which side is UP?
The side with the EESeal® logo is facing up and is visible after the EESeal® is inserted.
Important Note: It is imperative that the EESeal® be inserted “right side up”. Failure to do so will prevent the EESeal® from working as it’s intended to, and may cause functional problems.
Orient the EESeal®
With the correct side up, orient the EESeal® so its pinholes roughly align to the corresponding pins in the host connector. Most EESeal® FilterSeals have at least pin A (or pin 1 if your connector has numbers) marked to assist you in this orientation.
Important Note: It is imperative that the EESeal® be inserted so its pinholes are aligned with the matching pins in the connector – pin A to pin A, or pin 1 to pin 1, and so on. Your EESeal® may have a different treatment for each pin, and proper orientation will ensure each pin gets the correct circuit connection.
PARTIALLY Insert the EESeal®
Slightly cup the EESeal® so that Pinhole A (or pin 1) can be easily slipped onto the corresponding pin in the host connector. Double-check that the corresponding EESeal® pinholes are going over the correct pins in the connector. Gently use your fingertip to push the EESeal® down just over the tip of the pin, no further. Now simply press the rest of the pins into the EESeal® pinholes in the same manner. To make the EESeal® go on easily, notice that the EESeal® is intentionally oversized, so your pressing action should be towards (not away from) the pins already completed. Do not attempt to push the EESeal® down any further than just over the tip of the pins.
Fully Insert & Seat the EESeal®
First, confirm that you can see the tip of each and every pin slightly poking through its corresponding EESeal® pinhole (if not, complete step 3 before proceeding). The EESeal® can be fully inserted and permanently seated by simply mating the connector pair. Do not use your finger or any tool to seat the EESeal®, doing so may cause damage to the EESeal®. Now check the EESeal® to ensure it is flat at the bottom of the connector, with no folds along its edge or interior. It should appear like it belongs there.
