Samtec Effects of Lubrication on Connector Processing
Samtec Effects of Lubrication on Connector Processing studies the impact of lubricant bleed-over on connector soldering and press-fit assembly. The research evaluates lubricant type, flux chemistry, lead geometry, and processing methods under worst-case contamination conditions. Results showed most combinations met IPC-A-610F requirements, with only limited wetting and residue-related issues.
