Could cooling the connectors in a freezer and pressing them in while cold work?

As you state, the board will expand. The hole represents the absence of board. So the hole won't grow, but get smaller as the board will expand into the hole. Cooling it down might prove more beneficial. Getting back to the original topic, I would think the connector manufacturer would be able to supply a recommended lubricant. In a similar situation previously, we used something called Berutox. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Macko, Joe @ IEC Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2004 3:28 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] URGENT --- Lubricant for press-fit Depending on the CTEs of each, you could try heating the board. If the board expands more than the item your press fitting, your there. If not, then it will not make any difference. Down side is that the hole may now be over stressded and crack due to the additional stresses ........... My 2 cents. joe -----Original Message----- From: Ken Patel [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2004 3:18 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] URGENT --- Lubricant for press-fit All, I have undersized press-fit holes on my board and they are processed half way. What options do I have besides hand soldering? Does anyone know about electronic grade lubricant? Any help will appreciate.
