Press-fit Pins, Connectors, Injection Molding for automotive | Autospl...

The eye-of-the-needle (EON) press-fit terminal, which is designed to replace soldered terminals on printed circuit boards, has been in production at Autosplice for over a decade in 0.64mm and 0.81mm versions. A 0.4mm version is currently undergoing testing...

Even before lead-free processing became a concern, secondary soldering operations have presented difficult challenges. Achieving both high productivity and volume assembly throughput with solder tail terminals was not always possible. This is especially...

Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) Wire Actuation Devices use a specific alloy of Nitinol (Nickel Titanium) material, which contracts 4% when heated. Heat generation can be accomplished using electrical current or thermal energy. Compared with conventional actuation...

The Need for Automation-ready Solderless Interconnects
Creating on-board interconnect solutions is an area of significant challenge for the implementation of lead-free soldering processes. One key area for high volume manufacturers is maintaining overall production efficiency. The secondary soldering processes...
