1. As a solder free fastening technology, press-fit technology frequently offers an
attractive alternative to simple soldering technology.
2. An effective electrical press-fit connection is created by pressing a pin into plated
through hole of a circuit board and - as part of cold welding process - generating a gas-
tight electrical connection.
3. The through-hole plating for a press-fit system is essentially made in the same way
as the holes for accepting components for THT soldering. Thus there are no hanges
required in the PCB manufacturing process.
4. One outstanding characteristic of the press-fit system compared to the soldering
system is that it produces not only an electrical but also an extraordinarily strong
mechanical connection between the inserted components and the PCB.
