    This data is utilized in order to list more useful application examples in the future.

    Cautions on the CAD data

    1. Assembly data shows the assembly drawings in the concept design phase. The sole purpose of the data is to explain the structure and functionality of the assembly and is not considered nor to be used as a final design.
      You will need to edit the Data so that it meets your specific design conditions.
    2. The CAD data unit assembly consists of sub-assemblies.
      Each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or can be edited.
    3. * The part in the frame is a sub-assembly unit.

    4. The Data for fabricated parts is based on easy-to-edit dimensions and shapes in sketches and histories.
    5. The Data including the third-part components are made by the Company.

Application Overview

Purpose

  • A fixture to hold a workpiece for soldering.
  • Soldering hard to reach locations

Points for use

  • Manual mechanism with guide plunger and cover.

Target workpiece

  • PC board unit
    External dims. W14.5 x D115 x H25
    Workpiece weight: 60g

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements

  • Guide plunger stroke: 6mm
  • External dimensions: W100 x D200 x H110
  • Cover rotation 90°
  • Cover is retained with a magnet

Required Performance

  • Workpiece retaining load: 5N
  • A spring satisfying the workpiece retaining load when a constant of 0.75N/mm is used.

Selection Criteria for Main Components

  • Guide Plunger
    • Extra heavy load type that satisfies the workpiece retaining load.

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • Verify that the guide plunger can retain the workpiece.
  •  Spring load
    • Formula: Reaction force F = kx + s
    • Assumed load: F = 5N
    • Initial load: S = 1.4N
    • Assumed deflection during compression: x = 4.8mm
    • Spring constant: k = (F - S) / x = (5 - 1.4) / 4.8 = 0.75N/mm
    • A guide plunger with 6mm stroke and 1.4 ~ 5.9N load

Other Design Consideration

  • A guide plunger is used to secure the workpiece when the top surface cannot be clamped.
  • The plastic cover has a square hole that allows access to the soldering location while protecting the rest of the workpiece.
