In these cases, the annular ring must be designed according to the standards for through hole components to ensure proper soldering of the Press-fit pins. Please read section 10 Recommendation for soldering also. 3 Specifications for baseplate The thermal properties are not affected if the dimensions of the surface imperfections are within the following values. • • Polishing is allowed on the whole nickel plated surface if copper doesn’t become visible. If copper becomes visible, the unit is scratched and following acceptance criteria should be used. The depth and width of the scratch can’t exceed 200 µm and 800 µm, respectively. The length of the scratch does not matter but the total area of scratches must not exceed 5 % of the total substrate surface. Discolorations and fingerprints are only surface imperfections imperfections and do not affect the module's functionality. Substrate surface imperfections can be seen on the figures below.

Apply a homogeneous layer of thermal conductive paste over the whole backside of the module, with a roller or spatula. B. Apply thermal paste in a honeycomb pattern. The preferred technology for paste application is screen printing. For a drawing of the pattern pattern please contact your local sales representative. The recommended thermal paste thickness is 110 µm ± 15 µm m in both cases. Thermal paste thicker than recommended will increase thermal resistance (Rth). 5.2 OPTION 2: Pre-applied applied thermal interface material flowSCREW SCREW 4w modules family is offered with pre-applied pre applied phase change material as well.

Gyimóthy Rev. 04 page 12 Figure 12: Interconn PCB 9 Press in process of modules with Press-fit fit pins 9.1 Press-in in construction We recommend pressing the driver PCB onto the module from the top down as shown in Figure 13. Figure 13: Recommended setup for press-fitting 23.06.2015 Zs. Gyimóthy Rev. 04 page 13 9.1.1 Press-in tool Make sure the press-in tool is larger than the driver PCB. PCB • The recommended diameter of holes/ cutouts for the pins is 1.7 mm to 4 mm, depending on positioning accuracy, accuracy as shown on Figure 14. Allow for at least 2 mm supporting space pace around the pin (Figure 14). An elongated cutout for several pins may be made iff the pins are close together. to The PCB and module must also be positioned. positioned The size and position ition of holes and cutouts will be determined by the components on the PCB. Cutouts for pins are to be 6 mm deep. Figure 14: 14 Recommended dimensions for the press-in tool Recommended material for the press-in press tool: • • 9.1.2 • • 9.2 • • Tempered aluminum alloy grade 7075-T6 7075 with 430 MPa a yield strength and 160 HB hardness or Steel-grade grade 21 MnCr 5 with 660 MPa yield strength and 330 HB or better hardness Support plate The support plate positions and supports the module during press-fitting press fitting. The recommended ecommended material for the support plate is: o ESD-proof proof POM (polyoxymethylene) or any metal alloy Press-fit fit parameters Press-in in force: 90 N / pin – 150 N / pin Press-in in speed: 5 mm/s – 10 mm/sThe total press-in in force depends on the number of pins, hole diameter and plating (type/quality) of the PCB. 23.06.2015 Zs. Gyimóthy Rev. 04 page 14 9.2.1 The basic requirement for the press in process The Press-fit fit pins have to be pressed to the correct depth into the holes of the PCB. The center of the Press-fit fit pin head has to be at least 0.5 mm below the top surface and at least 0.5 mm above the bottom surface of the PCB. (Figure ( 15). Figure 15: Press-in depth in PCB 9.3 Process control parameters If the press machine is equipped with the possibility to record the forceforce-stroke values during the process, the following quality relevant values should be taken into consideration. Figure 16: Typical press-in in diagram of a 20 pin module shows a normal press-in in diagram. Three different sections can be seen on the diagram: • • • First raising section (blue): The heads of the Press-fit Press fit pins slide into the holes and deform to fitt in the holes. This section ends with a local maximum. Second section (green): The pin slides in the holes to reach the final position. The centre of the pin heads are inside the holes and do not deform any longer. This section ends with a local minimum. Second raising section (red): press-in press in tool touches the PCB and the sliding of the pins is stopped. The press-in in tool starts to bend the PCB. The pressing-in in has to be stopped at the beginning of the second raising section, not exceeding the actual max force ce of the first rising section, to avoid damaging the PCB or the deformation of the plastic housing. The press-in press in force or the motion stroke of the tool has to be controlled to stop at the beginning of the second raising section. Possible process control parameter arameter settings are as follows: • • The local maximum value (end of blue section) of the force-stroke force stroke diagram has to be: o higher than 90 N x number of the pins, o smaller than 150 N x number of the pins. These limits are marked on the diagram. If the press-in press force orce does not fit in the interval defined above, it can indicate faulty plating, or improper diameter of the holes. 23.06.2015 Zs.

In this case, the only way to remove the PCB is to cut the pin ends. Manual disassembly with pliers is an option if i the Press-fit fit pinhead is overlapped by the PCB so that the spring-end projects out of the PCB. Ensure you cut at level A as indicated in Figure 17 below where the two parts of the pinhead come together. Remove emove the driver PCB from the module after clipping off all pinheads.
