Printed Circuit Board Assembly
Protect the Header functional areas from conformal coating.
Ferrites must be immobilized by using conformal coating or
a bead of epoxy.
Secure Header onto the board
Headers must be secured to the board with 2 screws
• Use two, #4 self-tapping screws
• Torque: 2-3 in-lbs (0.23-0.34 Nm)
Refer to the Cinch Header drawings for board layout,
keep out areas and component height restrictions

• Refer to Cinch header prints for specic
board layout and spring plate selection.
Install heat sink spring plates
• Install the spring plates after the printed circuit
board has been processed.
• Spring plates are marked “R” and “L” and must
be installed as indicated.
• When using a one (1) heat sink, use spring plate
“R” only.
• Spring plates and thermally conductive adhesive
paste are necessary to guarantee proper heat
conduction through the heat sinks;
Cinch recommends Loctite 383.

ModICE™ is designed to be tamper proof.
Specic tools are required to open the enclosures.
Any attempt to open an enclosure without the recommended
tools may result in damaged parts that will affect the
mechanical characteristics and the sealing of the enclosure.
