Since your question is general I will be general. The most important thing for press fit connectors is the design, and the proper tooling. Design considerations for the PCB are proper finished hole diameter, type of plating on PCB and connector or pi

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

WE are using press fit connnectors on a range of boards, one of which is posing me a few process questions . The Machine is a fully automatic machine. The problem is intermittent and I can't seem to put a finger on it. An array of connectors ( consi

Are you using specific tooling for each part, or just generic? If so it could be pushing down at an angle and slightly tearing the PCB. We use the same style press as you but make custom fixtures to fit each connector and hold each PCB tight.

Hello Mark, I'll assume that you are currently wave soldering and would like to eliminate that operation by using pre-forms or press-fit connectors. Solder preforms or solder flux bearing connector leads usually do not require any hole size changes,

Accuracy of the arbor press might be made better by tightening the adjustable gibs on the ram if any. If you can use support under the board have the ID of the support just slightly larger than the pins being pressed. Janesville Tool makes an accura

We see this type of problem with a couple of our boards. It has proven to be a problem with the board. During manufacture at the board house the thru holes for the connectors are plated a little too heavy causing a smaller hole. If you haven't alread

What is Your customers requirements? Is the PCBA mounted with front/back connectors? Will the PCBA be mounded in a rack and connected to opposite connectors on the other side? In this case, if the warpage is more than approx 1-1.5 % You will then n
