I think that as long as the compliant portion of the pin is completely in the board, pin protrusion should not make any difference. I have seen some large Aerospace companies internal specifications and the two requirements seem to be that the compli

We are considering the use of compliant pin connectors on surface mount assys instead of pasting thru-hole connectors (boards can't be wavesoldered). We are looking at VME mother & daughter connectors, and compiant pin sockets that would replace PGA

Ditto here, also. This is generally referred to as �cratering,� and is associated with stress on boards from operations such as ICT, installation of compliant pin connectors, and depanelization. It is more common on PCBs designed for Lead-free proc

Has anyone used - or have any useability information on - the QuikTool compliant pin pcb support system? http://www.quik-tool.com/

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

A flexible array support system is superior in the following categories discussed in the 'tooling classes' thread. -High Flexibility -Effective on a variety of products -Low operator intervention -Conforms to PCB, so it is both accurate and repeatab

Bob, The responses to my question kind of supported my first instinct to avoid waving TSOPs. Plan B may be to find a compliant pin connector and convection reflow both sides. Any comments? Greg : The first thing is all the TSOP suppliers like Inte

I have some interesting problems on my hands that some of you may know the answers to. I am currently wave soldering a through hole connector to a rigidized flexible circuit. This is a compliant pin connector that is supposed to be pressed into a h
