BANNOCKBURN, IL — IPC has announced plans to start development of a standard to cover qualifications and acceptance requirements for press-fit pin technology intended for the automotive and other industries.

The yet to be named standard is expected to be released late 2017.

The development process will bring together collaboration between design and assembly task groups, as well as all considerations and criteria for applicable documents of both design and assembly.

“This newly proposed standard is exciting for multiple reasons. First, it is a document specifically requested by the European automotive electronics industry and is further evidence that European stakeholders are embracing IPC’s efforts to engage them in IPC’s global standardization process,” said Dave Bergman, IPC vice president of standards and training. “Additionally, it will help to close a technology hole in IPC’s standardization tree by adding a fresh look at the use of press-fit pin technology in electronic hardware.”
