Abstract
A method an assembly for aligning a TO window can and a TO header is provided. The present invention includes a die assembly having an upper die with forming details disposed thereon and a lower die which holds the TO header. The upper die and the lower die close such that the forming details form notches on the TO header. When the TO window can is fitted to the TO header, the TO window can engages with the notches on the TO header. If the TO window can and the TO header do not properly align, the notches may be increased in size until the proper alignment between the TO window can and the TO header is achieved.
