Today nearly all female connectors are designed for flat rock tooling. For every type of male connector specific
tooling and a high degree of X-Y-process accuracy is required. Therefore HARTING offers press-in insert blocks
that transfer all well known assembling advantages from female connectors to male headers.
Advantages of press inserts
Robust tooling
No lateral force to pcb hole
No abrasion of the contact mating surface by the press tool
HARTING has already developed press-
in inserts for all major male connector
families on 2.54 mm, 2.5 mm and 2 mm
pitches.
Inserts for any other special components
can be developed on request.
The additional process for inserting and
removing the press-in inserts can be
efficiently done with the insertion removal
station. This station removes all press-
in inserts with a magnetic plate in one
operation and inserts them into the next
pre-assembled pcb with the necessary
precision. (Principle see page 30.14).
The cycle time for loading all headers is between 4 and 6 seconds, independent from the amount of press-in
inserts.
To load the inserts automatically means also that connectors assembled in a wrong way will be recognised and
errors consequently prevented.
