Compliant/Press-Fit technology has already been established as a proven standard in automotive electronics, power modules and other areas, which enables solder-free interconnects with high reliability and cost-saving process simplification. The ability to eliminate soldering hassles along with delivering excellent thermal characteristics and high-current carrying capacity has made press-fit a preferred solution in these arenas.
These advantages are now also driving the adoption of press-fit technology in a widening array of applications, including wearable tech products, medical monitoring devices, and industrial systems. In response, suppliers are expanding the configurations and size ranges of available press-fit interconnects to meet this expanding range of needs.
Today's press-fit offerings go well beyond the standard sizes, such as .64mm and .80mm, which have become ubiquitous in automotive and power applications. New Micro, Mini and Macro version are addressing the needs of markets like wearable electronics, medical monitoring devices and high-current industrial busbars.
