CHALLENGE: SOLUTION:
Traditional wave-soldering processes drive up the cost and difficulty in PCB assembly for OEM and Tier 1 device makers across the globe EON Compliant Pin Technology alleviates these challenges by lowering operating costs, inimizing stress to the PCB and component degradation and eliminating solder slugs or flux residue on the solder tails

PCB headers featuring EON press-fit pins reduce electrical shorts, formation of cold spots and voids, cracked solder joint issues, and more. A variety of PCB header solutions are available for customization with EON compliant pins for high-circuit-count applications. Press-fit terminations create significant cost savings over solder-tail terminations. Product families with EON compliant pin terminations include MX150(TM) headers and the 154-circuit CMC header. As the trend for using compliant-pin technology increases in the automotive and commercial-vehicle markets, the use of press-fit pins with other header products is anticipated.

EON Compliant Pin Technology - Molex

Press-fit operation

Provides superior reliability, eliminates thermal stress, solder slugs, and cold spots. Delivers considerable cost savings over selective soldering

Proprietary C51000- or C19010-grade alloy material

Enables consistent production of high-performance, high-reliability, highly cost-effective products using lead-free processes

Variety of blade width sizes (0.50, 0.64, and 1.50mm)

Boosts design flexibility with pins that interface with 0.60, 1.00 and 1.45mm PCB holes

Custom Headers

Eliminate the need for customers to insert their own pins, therefore eliminating the need for stitching machinery; additionally, headers are soldered, as opposed to press fit into the board, providing a more robust interface
