Thank you Jim, this paper is excellent!
On section 7, you mentioned that pressfit has very low contact resistance. 
Could you share some actual measured data on some example connector types you 
looked at? I am curious to know what the actual range is and how it compares to 
solder TH.

Thanks,
Harold

Hello Harold,

I very recently searched for similar information. Here's a link to a TE White 
Paper...

Experts,

What are the pro and cons of through-hole and press-fit connectors?


As far as I know, through-hole connectors require wave soldering, which is 
highly undesirable for manufacturing reasons. Press-fit process is reliable, 
repeatable and high yield.


From a design perspective, I couldn't not find any good study on the joint 
reliability, connectivity and other performance metrics comparing these two.


Any thoughts?


Thanks,

harold
