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

I had the same concern. The connector pins are gold also. I am waiting for a response from AMP to supply some of this wonder wax. I can inspect the HASL fabs for proper hole diameter, but I do not have a warm feeling I should be getting involved with

Hi I don't believe I have ever done this or seen it, yet maybe since there are some other lube processes. Ask the Amp Guy for any older App Notes. They used to have a lot. If I got this right you could put it on the board with an applicator that c

| 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 rewor

I am not sure if I have seen an article comparing solder joint strength Vs pressfit although I am sure this has been researched by literally hundreds of companies before they felt comfortable going to pressfit. I know one of the issues with solder is

First thing I'd use is IPC-A-610C, �4.8.2 Connector Pins - Press-Fit Pins. Does it work in your case?

you can use IPC and Compact PCI standards for guideline then it depends on what kind of connector you want to pressfit. each supplier has its own design on pressfit pins like "needle eye", "baby H" etc... It is also importand to use proper equipement

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

Hi Dave, ASG in Florida (www.goasg.com) manufactures machines specifically to pick and place pressfit connectors, including vision inspection of the pins. They also manufacture a line of electric servo presses for pressfit connectors. I would be hap

Ron: Chris is correct that there is a bunch of fixture fabricators that make good products that will serve your purpose. Other fixture fabricators can be found in the archives. Problems with these fixtures are: 1 Out-rageously expensive 2 Very lo
