Abstract
An apparatus, system and method capable of providing a high precision connection between a plurality of pins of a C form factor pluggable (CFP) and a connection pad of a printed circuit board (PCB). The apparatus, system and method include: a connector mask suitable to receive therein a body of the CFP; a ruler suitable to receive therein the connector mask, and sized and shaped for direct physical associated with the PCB about the connection pad; and an adjustment mechanism at least partially passing through the ruler for contacting at least the connector mask and capable of adjusting the position of the pins in relation to the connection pad.
