Press Fit Connector pin protrusion in Backplane | 2 February, 2007

Hi,

I am considering to use pressfit D-Sub and DIN connectors on a backplane. The IPC guideline does just cover pin protrusion for soldered pins, which have to be flush with the board as a minimum acceptable design. Yet, if the backplane may be thicker than the connector pins are long, they would not protrude so I wonder if that would be acceptable for a pressfit connector installation that is also secured with extra mounting hardware.

I think that as long as the compliant portion of the pin is completely in the board, pin protrusion should not make any difference. I have seen some large Aerospace companies internal specifications and the two requirements seem to be that the compliant portion of the pin should not be visible on either side of the board and that the connector is almost flush with the board. Hope this helps.
