Step 1: Which side is UP?
If your EESeal® has a blank side with no printing on it, the blank side is up and visible once the EESeal® is inserted. If your EESeal® has the EESeal® Logo, the side with the logo will be visible once 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.
Step 2: Orient the EESeal®
If there is a small indexing mark present at the top of the EESeal®, align it with the keyway and/or the red dot on the connector shell. Otherwise, use the pin numbers/letters on the EESeal® to align the EESeal® with the appropriate pins on the connector.
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.
Step 3: Insert the EESeal®
With the EESeal® logo facing away from the male connector, place the EESeal® over the opening of the connector shell. Using your fingertip, gently press the EESeal® into the connector shell. If necessary, gently use a dull probe to straighten the EESeal® in the shell. Use the rubber strip provided to make minor rotational corrections to the position of the EESeal® and to gently press the EESeal® down toward the tips of the pins. Continue using the rubber strip to press the EESeal® onto the tips of the pins. Make sure the pins go through the pre-existing holes in the EESeal® and do not pierce through the EESeal® material itself.
Step 4: Seat the EESeal®
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.
