Hi All,

I'm looking for some data on the acceptable number of times a press-fit
connector can be reworked.  I have always used 3-5 times as a guideline,
however I don't have the data to back it up.  I'm also looking for some data
on reliability of a reworked assembly vs. a non-reworked assembly.  Any
ideas where I might find this info?  I have looked at the major
manufacturer's web sites and found rework methods and tools, but nothing on
the number of reworks or the reliability.
