Why don't you discuss this with your Tyco FAE or your pbc vendor? Soldering is an option but time consuming and costly for volume manufacturing. As well, if you have poor contact, you could have intermittent issues with your board, especially as the boards age. There is a reason they have a recommended drill size. -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Pon Ganesh Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 2:53 AM To: freelist.org si Subject: [SI-LIST] Highspeed MultiGig-RT connector Mounting/ Soldering issue Hi all, I am using a MultiGig-RT Pressfit connector for a VXS Payload card. In one of my PCB, due to manufacturing tolerance, the drill dimmension goes to 0.56mm, whereas the recommended is 0.475+/-0.05mm. Now the Press-fitted connector easily comes out of the PCB. For mounting the connector with the PCB, can i solder the unused pins of MultiGig connector with PCB ( Board thickness is 2.38mm ).Will it affect the signal routed in the connector. This MultiGig-RT connector is a Highspeed connector, which is made up of PCB wafers. Please suggest me anyother methods ( like applying glue, Soldering...)for mounting the connector with PCB.Please mention the procedure also.
