FCI PIN-IN-PASTE CONNECTOR TECHNOLOGY – THE PRODUCT PORTFOLIO!

FCI has expanded its portfolio of pin-in-paste connector products. The portfolio includes the following popular product families: Quickie®, Minitek™, Bergstak®, Metral®, Sofix® and various D-SUB connectors. The pin-in-paste process enables connectors designed for through-hole soldering to be mounted using conventional reflow soldering techniques, thus eliminating the need for a wave soldering step during the assembly process (for many applications). FCI offers full application support for each pin-in-paste connector, including the matching design for the solder mask, solder paste and hole dimensions on the PCB.
