Following the recent launch of the HARTING AdvancedMC Type B+ connectors for AdvancedTCA applications, HARTING has introduced a set of press-in tools to speed their assembly onto printed circuit boards. The tools are designed for different specifications of connector: both with and without pegs. In addition, the tools can be used with PCBs both with and without the additional mounting fixture option.
The new tools can be used with all HARTING manual or pneumatic presses, or with the fully automated CPM press-in machines.
The AdvancedMC Type B+ connector for AdvancedTCA is designed to meet the mechanical and electrical requirements of PICMG (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group) AMC.0. The inclusion of the press-in option is scheduled for the next revision of the AMC.0 specification.
