Hi Jim, How much force is required to press fit a connector?
Electronics Forum | Tue May 28 14:01:09 EDT 2002 | zanolli
Hello Sally, The force required for press fit connectors will vary depending on the connector type. The force will also very significantly from one supplier to another for the same connector. To give you an example; for a .100" DIN 41612 connector

Fuji can place with high force, and custom feeder for your terminals is required.

General comments are: * First place I would look is the supplier of the pins that you are trying to install. Most suppliers that sell press fit components have done a good deal of work to qualify the component and will have all the specifications yo

You could check the data sheets/web sites from the manufacturers of the press-fit parts. They typically will identify the recommended tooling/equipment necessary to install their components. Generally, pneumatic presses are suggested, with controll

you should be able to get the force requirements from the connector manufacturer. Both the minimum and maximum forces used in the pressing cycle should be recorded to know the connector is properly seated without excessive force that can damage the

Thanks for your quick respond. I'm looking for some more detailed specs. Like: pressure force, the "do" and "do not do" rules for the connector itself (include the plastic housing), tools etc. Regards, Michael

Oh yeah, I've seen this before! Generally, if the hole sizes are correct (including plating), and the PEMs are within spec, we've found that this is most commonly caused by insufficient support of the PCB during insertion. If you can eliminate supp

Hello Floyd, Yes, special tooling is required. The tooling usually consists of a press, push-in tooling and support plate tooling. The presses can range from relatively simple arbor type presses to automated hydraulic presses with sophisticated con
