I have to figure out how to install a two-pin JST through-hole connector. It is a press-in style. We have pressed in larger connectors on single-sided boards with our pneumatic machine but this is a small connector on a double-sided board with small

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

Hi, Does anybody know where I could get a cheap but efficient press for press fit connectors (200pins and up)? Pneumatic or Hand lever Mario

I think that as long as the compliant portion of the pin is completely in the board, pin protrusion should not make any difference. I have seen some large Aerospace companies internal specifications and the two requirements seem to be that the compli

Hi, we do Sn plated I/O pinning insertion into Ni/Au thru' holes. no problems here so far, as we cater for the "interference" (fit-allowances) of the I/O pin into the thru' diameter, via improved PCB thru' hole designs. before this cater/considerati

Mario, If you are looking for a cheap press to do press fit connectors, then you are asking for trouble. Now, and in the long run. ASG out of West Palm Beach makes a very good press. We bought a 5 ton version and are able to press up to about 2500

We currently have a job that uses press fit solderless pins. The pins are custom and only supplied in bulk packaging. I am looking for a machine that can orient the pins and present them to my insertion machine. Of course i need the pin to be present
