INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY

PRESS-FIT

As the pioneer in solderless Press-Fit Technology, Interplex has been producing Press-Fit solutions for top-tier customers for over a decade. Our patented automotive and high reliability Press-Fit solderless interconnect designs are validated to meet IEC 60352-5 and IPC-9797 and tested for high performance in harsh, high temperature automotive environments.

HIGH PERFORMANCE
IN HARSH, HIGH
TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENTS

Our Press-Fit components offer highly repeatable, RoHS compliant solderless assembly. Providing unmatched electrical and mechanical characteristics, the joints are not subject to quality problems associated with solder – such as cold spots, voids, splatter and cracks.

EXCELLENT THERMAL PERFORMANCE

High normal force interface enables movement to accommodate CTE mismatch, thereby providing excellent performance during high temperature cycling conditions

OUR PRESS-FIT
TECHNOLOGY

Solderless Press-Fit Terminals for Automotive Applications

This technology supports the assembly of a terminal or electrical lead with a PCB plated-through hole, where an electrical connection is created and maintained without the application of solder.

Custom Connectors with Press-Fit Terminals

Our Press-Fit technology is used in connectors and headers that make custom interconnects directly from the PCB to a mating connector.

Press-Fit Module and Sensor Enclosures

Manufacturers utilize our solderless Press-Fit technology in a variety of control modules and sensors. Our technology helps customers design-in low-cost, high-quality products by seamlessly integrating the complete connection system into the enclosure package, eliminating the need for secondary soldering operations.

Card Edge SMT Press-Fit Connector System

Interplex’s SMT card edge connector system employs a discrete SMT component, creating a solderless Press-Fit card edge connector system for daughter card applications. It uses Interplex-tested and proven 0.4mm or 0.64mm Press-Fit technology. Automotive manufacturers utilize Press-Fit technology in control modules, switches, fuse receptacles, junction boxes, hybrid inverters, a myriad of sensor and connector applications, and other engine and passenger compartment applications. Our solderless Press-Fit technology is fully tested to meet the automotive industry’s stringent operating requirements for vibration and temperature.
