We are to use a special pressfit connector. Indeed, one side of the connector is overmoulded in a housing, and the other side will be pressfitted on a board. We would like to know: 1) Are such applications yet existing ? 2) What are the type of inser

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

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

Dave, I raised this concern also. AMP claims that the tight fit in the wipe zone creates an airless joint that will not corrode despite the dissimiliar metals. DDave, thanks for the link.

Never heard of Bareco wax. Check with your press supplier. They'll have the dirt on this carnuba oil stuff. I do question replacing ENIG with HASL, no other changes. HASL is going to fill that hole alot more than ENIG. Certainly it will displace

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 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

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

Hi Hey thanks, you are welcome for the link. Well to be precise dissimilar metals will corrode at some rate and also depends on the environment. Look at a Galvanic Table. Yet maybe for your application and the ones AMP designed this part for, the c
