Press Fit Tooling

Press Fit Data Sheet.pdf

Press fit tooling is vital to prevent PCB and Connector damage. AGI's tooling provides support for each annular ring, which prevents PCB damage and with proper PCB support, we can prevent stress that can damage adjacent components during the press fit operation. AGI 's Press Fit Tooling can be manufactured from either 6061 Aluminum plate, which is the most common, or G-10. The plate thickness is based upon back side connector and component heights. 

Features and Benefits

• Engraved identification numbers and other information required for efficient location and positioning of the PCB.
• Press Fit Pin Holes drilled ~.007" diameter larger than the ID of the annular ring to provide support.
• (2) tooling pins ensure the PCB is located properly.
• Manufactured from 6061 Aluminum plate, In either 1/2", 3/4” or 1” thickness.
• To get your tooling started, we need gerber data for your PCB, with panel and or drill drawing, some ideas on the maximum component height for the bottom side. Please identify which connectors are Press fit. We can typically have a quote for you within hours!
