Dimension, support and insertion are separate controlsA dimensional comparison alone cannot qualify a press-fit assembly. Support, tooling, insertion and verification must follow the selected connector requirements.Dimension, support and insertion are separate controlsRelease the connector-to-board system1Part-specific requirementsIdentify connector part, revision and approved PCB window.Also specify hole plating, finish and board thickness.2Board evidenceAgree gauges, section measurements and sampling.Avoid substituting drill-tool size for a finished-hole report.3Insertion setupSupport the board and provide tail clearance.Use connector-approved tooling, alignment and process settings.4Assembly verificationInspect seating and evaluate agreed insertion records.Force depends on the actual connector and process, not a generic formula.³Ô¹Ïtv · Engineering illustration · Conceptual, not to scale
