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

Hello We have recently started to work with press fit but we are finding problems to reach the specifications in terms of hole deformation and whiskers. Do someone have experience in key process parameters and PCB design specifications (PCB harness,

We use a few different style of press fit connectors, terminals, studs, etc. We use a tabletop arbor press for most everything we do, but a lot of times we will see some measling or slight delamination around the holes for the press fit part. Is ther

Currently we have started seeing an issue around a scuzzy connector.The problem being that during insertion of this connnector a couple of pins refused to be inserted and as a result fold over, this folding of the pin is causing the pin itself to fra

The connectors are well within thier specification,and are also checked for misaligned and damaged pins , as regards the cross-section results, all holes are correctly aligned and are well spaced within their tolerance of +/-0.005 (a couple of isolat

Sal: If it�s not the PCB, what about the connector itself ? Is it from a different production lot with some unregularities ( dimensions, tolerances, pin alignment, material weakness)? How about handling, storage, shipping causes ? Could it be a tooli

Sal: Hey that customer standing around staring at you sound like fun, yeh right!!! Wolfgang makes good sense, but, in addition, I�d like to drill-down on board fabrication (har har har) a little bit (har har har) more. You say the holes are the cor

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

We design a broad range of DC/DC power supplies for various telecom, internet, and computor applications and have been succesfully using intrusive reflow for ~7 years now. Our pcbs range from 0.065 to 0.090 in thickness and are moslty dense 4 to 8 la

We are using HASL board for Press Fit, without problem in the past until recently. Now we are seeing the solder in the PTH melt and block partially the PTH hole during the reflow. It gives problem when Press Fit. Anyone has advice on this?
