Press-in technology

Back to PCB mounting

Mounting without soldering? Press-in technology makes this possible. This mounting type is characterized by easy mounting and high holding forces.

Your advantages

No temperature load on connection components, thanks to mounting without soldering
High holding forces: pins make gas-tight contact in the metal-plated drill holes
Efficient assembly process: press-in method using toggle press or pneumatic press

Basics

Automated press-in method

Press-in technology offers an alternative to THR or SMT solder mounting, especially when the PCB and its components should not be subjected to thermal loads.

The solder-free connection is established by pressing the press-in pins of the component to be mounted into metal-plated holes on the PCB. In the simplest case, a toggle press is used. Pneumatic presses are used for automated assembly processes.

With the press-in method, the outer edges of the special pin contour cut into the metal plating, thereby ensuring gas-tight electrical contacting.
