Assembly Instructions for the Easy-PressFIT Modules
3.2
Press-in forces and speed
To press a module onto a PCB, a force of between approximately 60 N and 100 N must be applied for each pin in
the module. The press-in forces vary according to the diameter of the hole and copper metallization in the PCB.
Table 2 shows the PressFIT speed and the maximum PressFIT force per pin.

PressFIT speed and forces per pin
Attention! The maximum applied force per module for Easy1B and Easy2B during pressing should not exceed 4
kN. For Easy3B the maximum applied force should not exceed 8 kN.
The press-fitting speed should not be lower than 25 mm/min according to IEC 60352-5. Infineon recommends a
press-in speed of about 100 mm/min. The typical press-in speed for automated assembly lines is up to 450
mm/min.
