Pressfit EloPin® – press-fit zone
Press-fit technology is an innovative, forward-looking technology for sophisticated electronic components. It is the preferred method for assembling printed circuit boards. Essentially, component pins, connectors or individual contacts are pressed into metallized holes on a PCB. This mechanical plug connection avoids the undesirable consequences of conventional soldering technology, such as soldering errors, flux problems or thermal stress. Further advantages are the more economical and, if required, double-sided assembly process.
Nesper Pressfit Elopin®
Nesper offers many years of experience in the production of press-fit zones. The results for our customers are maximum precision and absolute reliability. This applies in particular to the Pressfit EloPin® that we produce. The Nesper manufacturing process allows the advantages of the patented plug-in connection to be fully utilized:
Technically very clean, as no chip formation
Resilient, robust and vibration-resistant thanks to high stability
Reliable because gas-tight
Flawless functionality in the entire tolerance range of the PCB hole
Mechanically less stressed PCB due to gentle press-fit process
Low contact resistance
The EloPin® is used in demanding sectors such as mechanical engineering, automotive and medical technology. Areas for which Nesper offers complex solutions from a single source.
