Broaching Technology
Microminiature high-pressure connectors and cables
The Series 707 Micro-PSI is an ultra-miniaturized 10K PSI high-pressure, high-temperature interconnect designed specifically for pipeline inspection applications in Magnetic Flux Leakage and ultrasonic pipeline inspection PIGs. The Micro-PSI insert arrangements feature two high-density micro TwistPin layouts for sensor applications and high-speed Gigabit Ethernet, and a Coax contact layout for 5 GHz performance.
Micro-PSI connectors are supplied as discrete plugs, or overmolded plug cordsets with rugged Viton or Polyurethane jacketing. Bulkhead and flange mount receptacles are 10K psi open-face pressure sealed, and incorporate fused vitreous glass inserts for <1×10-7 scc He/sec hermetic performance. Serviceable O-rings on plugs and dual piston and face O-rings on receptacles provide high-reliability sealing.
Benefits
Broaching and broach/flare types are designed for unplated mounting hole applications. If used in plated mounting holes, the stresses
involved can damage the plating, push out the plating entirely, or break any traces inside the board that might be connected to the plated
hole. When installing into non-plated mounting holes there may even be issues with delamination, measeling or crazing in some instances
Applications
- Electronic assemblies with PCBs
- Broaching is almost strictly used in the context of electronic assemblies with PCBs. While it can be used in brittle plastics, more specialized solutions like the unique installation methods of threaded inserts leverage the versatility of plastic to create stronger joints than what broaching could accomplish.
