Instructions to mount the SAMTEC connector
The SAMTEC connector has been mounted with 100% success rate on the WRS PCB. The trick is to use an heat gun and to cover with aluminum foils all the board except the bottom of the board, under the connector. When using the heat gun, a slight smoke can arise from the SAMTEC connector, which it's fine.
