Cable-to-board Connectors for Pin-in-Paste Processes
Description
Quickie™ is FCI’s brand for
cable-to-board connectors in 2.54mm
pitch. The Quickie™ product range
includes IDC Receptacles, IDC Board
Connectors, Shrouded Low Profile
Headers and Shrouded Eject Latch
Headers.
FCI is adding four new series of
Quickie Headers to its product range,
dedicated to Pin-in-Paste soldering
processes. This brochure gives
additional information for the correct
use of Quickie PiP connectors in the
application process.
Pin-in-Paste
Pin-in-Paste (PiP) technology allows
the use of TMT products in SMT
manufacturing processes. The
connectors are automatically or
manually placed on the board, then
soldered in the same operation
as the SMT components. Despite this,
the mechanical strength of the TMT
soldering is maintained – still an
important requirement for connectors
nowadays in many industrial or
automotive applications.

Application
design
guidelines
For application in a Pin-in-Paste
process, FCI recommends the
application design guidelines below.
STENCIL DESIGN:
The stencil design is crucial for a good
solder joint. It determines the quantity
of paste and the position of the paste
print on the board. Each PCB hole has
its own stencil aperture with enough
spacing in between in order to have
separate solder deposits.
This prevents solder robbing from one
hole to another and guarantees the
correct quantity of solder paste for
each hole. The print position is slightly
asymmetrical so as to optimise the
flow of molten solder paste.

Service Program
Quickie
TM
is part of the
basics+
product range.
basics+
is a service
program built around 2.54mm and
2mm pitch connectors for
board-to-board, wire-to-board
and cable-to-board applications.
basics+
makes the entire product
design-in process very simple,
with easy-to-use product selection,
technical hot line, fast sample
service, and core range products.
Included are established, proven
brands such as BergStik, Dubox,
Quickie and Minitek.
PASTE APPLICATION:
The quantity of paste for each hole
depends on the soldering process
parameters and the degree of hole
filling. For the squeegee,
FCI recommends a 45° angle. You
can use a smaller angle for an even
greater degree of hole filling. The
squeegee moves in parallel with the
shorter sides of the stencil apertures.
BOARD LAYOUT:
Please use a hole of 1.00 +/- 0.05mm
for an optimum paste deposit.
For automatic pick-and-place, lean
towards the upper end of the
tolerance.
Refer also to TA-894 for further
information.

Connector
design
In order to achieve optimum soldering
results, FCI launches dedicated
Pin-in-Paste connectors in the
basics+
product range. These
connectors are fully adapted to
Pin-in-Paste processing in all aspects,
including plastic material, housing
design, pin length, and packaging.
PLASTIC MATERIAL:
Quickie PiP headers are moulded in
high temperature thermoplastic and
are able to withstand temperature
exposure up to 260°C peak for 10 to
30 seconds in a convection infrared
or vapour-phase reflow oven.
HOUSING DESIGN:
Standoffs raise the housing body
slightly above the PCB surface and
thus allow the molten solder paste to
flow freely from its printed position
into the board hole and around the
pin. The standoffs are correctly
positioned for a good solder paste
deposit around the pin. Please respect
the stencil design guidelines below in
order to avoid paste deposit around
the standoffs.
PIN LENGTH:
The connector lead length beyond
the bottom of the PCB is shorter than
for traditional TMT products. Thus, the
risk of pushing out the solder paste
when inserting the pin into the PCB
hole is very much limited. The solder
paste will not stick on the pin tip or
even fall off completely, but stays
around the pin for free flow during
soldering. FCI uses a solder tail length
of 2 +/-0.2 mm for Quickie Headers for
a standard PCB of 1.6 mm thickness.
PACKAGING:
For combining SMT and TMT components not only in the soldering process, but
also in the assembly process, FCI proposes a choice of pick-and-place packaging
for PiP connectors. The most common part numbers are available in tape-on-reel
packaging, all others in tube.
