In this research, important mechanical characteristics of Compliant Press-Fit Pin and PHT are studied through the analysis of deformation mechanisms of Press-Fit Pin and by elastic-plastic finite element method. The direct data for the optimal design of pin was obtained without interfere with the criterion on insertion force and retention force. Also, the insertion force and retention force of new type pin were measured by precision type tensile testing machine and it revealed good agreement with analytical results. In conclusion, it is believed that above results will contribute satisfactorily to the practical design of Press-Fit Pin.

Press-fit pin connection is the solderless interference-fit between pins and plated through holes(PTH) in the printed curcuit board(PCB). Because of not only its simple assembly and absence of problems associated with soldering, but also its good mechanical and electrical characteristics, the press-fit pin connection technology has quickly gained wide acceptance in the telecommunications and computer industries. In this paper, the contact stress characteristics of the domestic CPF pin when inserted into the friction coefficients were compared and the stress variations of the compliant part of the pin, which have an influence on the performance, were displayed with the time and arc length after complete connected. It is supposed that the results will provide useful data to improve the performance of the pin-PCB interconnection mechanism.

A new type of compliant press-fit pin has been developed and evaluated for use packaging of electronic telecommunications equipments. Main requirements for design are defined the upper limit of pin insertion force and the lower limit of pin retention force. Upper limit of pin insertion force is set to protect the copper plate of the inner PTH wall. Lower limit of pin retention force is set to satisfy a wire-wrapping specification. Results are represented by insertion force and retention force variations according to the front angle, rear angle and material, etc.
