Press Fit - Press Pin - Compliant Pin.


These connectors are starting to dominate some sectors of electronics.

Global Datum has engineered solutions ranging through

Simple toggle presses for 50way connectors
Wide throat arbor presses with moving press fit nests
ASG Press carriers

A Press Fit nest accurately locates a pcb over the press pin support areas.

Connector pin counts vary from a few hundred to tens of thousands (27,000 is our current
record). For each pin a corresponding hole is created (to give the maximum support).

We check that the stress within the support plate does not exceed yield and substitute very high strength alluminium for certain dense connectors.
