Valencia CA, July, 2010 - Oupiin America Announces its new Press Fit Connectors -- Pressfit backplane connectors have many benefits compared to solder joints, such as resistance to temperature changes, shock, and vibration. Pressfit backplane connectors enable improved impedance across all positions (favorable high-frequency properties) and compensation for plated through-hole irregularities. Use of pressfit connectors places no thermal stress on the printed circuit board (PCB), and removes the worry that fumes, gases, flux residue, or solvents can penetrate the solder joint. They solve the problem of cold solder joints, shorts as a result of solder bridging, and solder interference on long-tail connectors. All of the above has now been amplified with RoHS. Finally, application of the pressfit connector to the board can be quickly and reliably accomplished with simple insertion tools. Click here for the Product Release
