We have a few boards that have multiple layers of Poly-glass.  To date we
have seen zero problems when the board is properly supported during
connector insertion.  These connectors have survived Military ballistic
shock with no problems.

Does anybody have information about the suitability of polyimide (or any
other high temp laminate) with press fit pins.

It doesn't seem a good idea to me to use them with poyimide being more
brittle than FR4 but are there any guidelines anywhere?
