Hi, Which kind of connectors do you plan to press-in ? What is the finish on pcb ? HASL is considered to be the best finishing choice. If using other finishes there might be problems. Framatome, Harting and EPT ( AMP ) are main manufacturers of these kind of machines in Europa. They also have good idea of details that the process, connectors and pcb`s must fulfill in order to get good joint.
