Not every assembly line wants another soldering step. That’s one reason press-fit technology continues to stick around. The 187 Faston tab in Series 956 is designed to be pressed directly into the board, creating both a mechanical and electrical connection without solder. For manufacturers, that can mean less processing, fewer variables, and a cleaner assembly workflow. What makes press-fit interesting is the fit itself. The terminal is engineered to create controlled pressure inside the PCB hole. That pressure helps maintain retention strength while supporting reliable electrical performance. You’ll find 187 Faston tab designs in appliances, industrial controls, power equipment, and other products where consistency matters. The goal isn’t to reinvent the connection. It’s to make it easier to install while still holding up years after the product leaves the factory.
