Paul We don't like to mix metals on press fits. Yano, we do gold on gold or solder on solder, but we don't mix metals [except with imm silver / tin] to avoid electrochemical corrosion. Is that bad information or does AMP think that's not a problem

Check with your connector supplier, but most press-fit contacts will pierce through Types UR & XY conformal coat (military approved). Acrylic (AR) Urethane (UR) Epoxy (ER) Silicone (SR) Parylene (XY)

It read to .0001 and was repeatable to +/- .0005. As the SR coating got thicker, it was more sensitive to pressure since the transducer (ours was a 1/8" dia.) would press into the coating. You might request a demo from a vendor and see if it is a f

It does looks like a arbor press. It's a customized one to be exact, pins there to fits the fixture.

I presume you are looking at low melting point solders. Firstly, I would consider running BOTH sides with the same paste - this will cut down the opportunities for a mix up with rework or retro-fit. Secondly, check that there is a cored wire availabl
