Holes
Drilled to Clear Pins, but Support Annular Ring
Press
Fit & Top Die Tooling
AGI 's Press Fit Tooling can be manufactured from either 6061 Aluminum plate or G-10. All that’s required to manufacture the tooling is your Gerber file and back side connector part heights if applicable. In 24-36 hours, we will ship your tooling.
The plate thickness is based upon back side connector heights. Minimum thickness is ½”. Our design techniques are based upon sound processing practices. We drill each hole to be approximately .005” - .010" greater in diameter than the barrel I.D. This ensures that the annular ring is supported and cannot be damaged. We also design proper support around the connector to ensure no damage to the PCB occurs.
Back side SMD’s and components are pocketed for clearance. The tooling includes (2) tooling pins for locating the PCB in place.
Top Die Tooling is made from Hardened Steel and precision machined to the manufactures’ tolerances using EDM process. These can be designed from your connector data sheets. Lead times typically 2 weeks.
