The fixture should be

1. Insert the sensor and all
other electrical components
into PCB.

3. Insert the LED/clip

5. Place the lens onto the base

4. Wave Solder the entire
assembly in a no-wash
solder process utilizing

fixture is needed to protect
the sensor during the solder

not to place the PCB facing
up during the entire mouse
assembly process.
9. Install mouse top case.
There MUST be a feature in
the top case to press down
onto the clip to ensure all
components are interlocked
to the correct vertical
height.
