This is a common type of connector. We press them in daily. AMP has a lot of different type of tools and machines available for connectors. We just use a local machine shop to make jigs that fit a standard 2 ton press. It is quicker and les cos

Hi http://barecowax.com/About%20Bareco.htm You will notice they have a lot of products. After you get from AMP the actual Bareco lubrication product they are recommending for their product application make sure you know what cleaning method remove

Forgive the non-SMT question. That's why I hate through hole boards. Has anyone ever used Bareco wax on pressfit connectors, and how do you produce a consistent process for its application? Any drawbacks? Background: We have found a design issue with

Does anyone have any reliability data /concern on pressfit rework/repair - is there any qualified /characterized equipment /tools present in the industry? What kind of effect does it have on barrel plating quality (1.5mil avg.) after 1 time rework or

Depending on the connector you should be able to use a standard cheap arbor press with some cheap home-made tooling. Standard arbor presses typically have a rotating disc with cut-outs, remove this and put a decent quality stainless steel block in it

Hello Jim, Is any special tooling required for press-fitting a connector?

I'm out here on the leftcoast. Actually, our method for removal is: break down the sides, pull each pin individually. It's tedious and time consuming, but it can be accomplished with little risk of damaging the board. Customers are curious, however.

Andrew, As I read about issues with reworking connectors, whether they are surface mount or PTH soldered, I wonder if compliant pin pressfit connectors are being considered. They are easily assembled after all SMT without any thermal input, and on e

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
