We have been doing this for 3 years with no problems found in
engineering or in the field.
        Both sockets and connectors are being mounted this way.  All of these
devices have gold plated leads which are being press-fit into the PCB.
        We do use a gold lubricant on the pins prior to press-fitting to
reduce drag and pressure needed to insert the pins.
        If  you need any other info, please contact me.

        Is anyone pressing compliant pin connectors into boards with
        immersion gold finish?  If so, what kind of results are you
        getting?  Is there any reason this should not be done?

        Thanks,
