BERGSTIK™
Unshrouded Headers for Pin-in-Paste Processes
BERGSTIKTM UNSHROUDED HEADERS
FOR PIN-IN-PASTE PROCESSES
DESCRIPTION
BergStik™ is FCI’s brand for pin headers
in 2.54 mm (0.100”) pitch. The BergStik
product range includes straight, right angle,
surface mount and stacking headers. Three
new series are now being added, dedicated
to Pin-in-Paste soldering processes.
This brochure gives additional information
for the correct use of BergStik 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.
CONNECTOR DESIGN
These connectors meet the requirements of Pin-in-Paste processing in all aspects, including plastic material, housing design and pin length.
PLASTIC MATERIAL:
BergStik PIP headers are moulded in high temperature thermoplastic and are able to withstand exposure
to 260°C peak temperature for 30 seconds maximum in a convection, infra-red or vapour phase reflow oven.
HOUSING DESIGN:
a special housing has been developed for the double row straight product. A row of higher standoffs has
been placed in the longitudinal center axis, between both rows of pins for a good solder paste deposit around the pin. Please
follow the stencil design guidelines TA-894 and TA-897 below in order to avoid paste deposit under the standoffs.
APPLICATION DESIGN
GUIDELINES
The following application guidelines will
help you to achieve optimum results when
using Bergstik PiP in your process.
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
to allow 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.
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 +/– 0.05 mm for an optimum
paste deposit. For automatic pick-and-
place, lean towards the upper end of the
tolerance.
