Ask the mfr if they have torque recommendations to prevent damage or over stress

Subject: [TN] Screwing in place fine-pitch SMT connectors


Hi to all,

We have an SMT connector that has two plastic fixing lugs
coming out in line with the single row of pins (two rows
at the connector interface but one row at the PCB surface).

The connector supplier is recomending that it should be secured
down to the board with two screws.  Thw screws are to be 2mm.
Pitch of the connector is 0.635mm.

I am concerned that fixing the connector down using a screw and
nut may over stress the intermetalic solder joint between the
connector and the PCB pad.

Any comments much appreciated.


Regards,

Douglas I McCall,
