Press-fit pins for solder-less assembly of power modules

May 12, 2011

May 11th 2011 – Solder pins have been the interface of choice for power modules for many years. In this day and age, when cost saving very often leads to compromises in quality, Vincotech’s new Press-fit technology goes against the trend. The new Press-fit pin takes the assembly properties of Vincotech power modules a step further: the solder-less assembly of the modules, equally easy on both sides of the PCB, leads to higher reliability and design flexibility, and drastically reduces production costs.

The aim of the development was an interconnect technology that would eliminate the … Read More → "Press-fit pins for solder-less assembly of power modules"
