SENSIPRESS TECHNOLOGYA SENSIBLE SOLUTION TO REDUCING PC BOARD DAMAGE
DUE TO BENT PINS IN CONNECTOR PRESS FIT APPLICATIONS
SensiPress technology from TE Connectivity (TE) is designed to increase defectdetection in connector press fit applications by reducing previously unalteredmechanical noise, thereby improving accuracy, reducing scrap and allowing for easiertroubleshooting and maintenance.
As the industry moves to high-performance connectors with higher pin densities
and smaller pin tails, the ability to detect bent pins at the early stage of the pressing
cycle is becoming increasingly more challenging. The high sensitivity measurement
capabilities of SensiPress technology enables TE Connector Press Fit machines tomore accurately measure press force and halt the seating cycle if it detects early
contact with the tool, indicating that one or more pins are bent or out of alignment.

SensiPress Advantages•

Higher force sensitivity: The SensiPress solution significantly increases the force
detection capability at the initial pin contact stage. In other words, it can increase
your TE press-fit machine detection precision by 5X what is currently available inthe market.

•Thanks to its elegant design, the new SensiPress technology helps TE’s Press Fit
machines operate at a higher performance level, all while using fewer load cells
and less complexity, thereby decreasing troubleshooting, maintenance and set-uptime.

Cut Through the Clutter
for More Accurate PinDetection
When only three pounds of force cancrush small pins, excessive force noise
can make detecting a defective pin
extremely challenging. With SensiPress
technology we optimized our loadcell positioning by isolating the force
sensors to eliminate excessive forcenoise, making it easier to detect bent
pins and stop the press cycle before
damaging expensive PC boards.

Distance to BoardAPPLICATION TOOLING /// SENSIPRESSField Installed Servo Controlled SensiPress Upgrade
A new field-installed SensiPress upgrade kit is available for all existing TEConnectivity BMEP/MEP/CBP/CMP press fit machines. Retrofits to select press fitmachines can be made on-site by a trained TE Field Service Engineer.
No additional software is required, and installation takes only a few hours tocomplete.

It is very challenging forexisting design and loadcell arrays (force sensor)
to detect a bent pin at
the early stage of thepressing cycle.
