Enhance IoT Power Connections Using SMarTconn® Surface Mount Connectors with Floating Pin Technology
With IoT, the need for innovative connection solutions have flourished as control panels have shrunk in size resulting in increased power distribution over smaller and densely populated PCB’s. Learn how WECO addressed these challenges in our Webinar on floating pin technology.
Soldering larger power terminal blocks using SMT reflow processes poses several challenges in the manufacturing environment.
WECO’s floating pin technology is designed to ensure a sound connection to the host PCB and a high “peel-off” force for these large surface mount devices. The design considers key parameters such as: size, weight, coplanarity of a larger device relative to the PCB and coefficient of thermal expansion between the connectors and PCB.
Key Takeaways for Attendees
- Solving how to deal with a mix of large and small surface mount devices and ensure a secure solder joint when using the same solder past thickness as smaller components is now easy.
- Dealing with different coefficients of thermal expansion while maintaining reliable solder joints.
- Increased solderability to PCB due to total co-planer adaptability of contact elements.
