Press-fit Technology for Power Modules

Save Time - Press In!

Vincotech‘s new Press-fit Technology drastically reduces PCB assembly time and effort. Well established in the automotive industry, the Press-fit pin eliminates the need for soldering, thus reducing the process time and therefore the costs. An increased production output capacity is the direct consequence.

The elimination of the power module solder process also allows for design flexibility:
the module can easily be mounted on the other side of the PCB at no extra cost and effort.

Features:

  • Approved round-shaped Press-fit area
  • Complies with DIN and IEC standards
  • Tapered pin-head shape
  • Same Press-fit area for all power ranges
  • Available in three versions covering all Vincotech power module families:
    • For 12 mm base plate-less housings
    • For 17 mm base plate-less housings
    • For 17 mm housings with base plate

Benefits:

  • Eliminates costly additional soldering process
  • Pins are compatible with legacy solder pin module
  • Very high current capability (30A @ 80°C)
  • Reliable cold welding connection to PCB
  • No PCB hole damage, allowing for reuse
  • Thermo-mechanical push and pull-force relief
  • Flexible mounting onto the power module DCB
  • Cuts production cost
