Accu-Post™ PCB mountable terminals, with Zierick’s exclusive Accu-Lok™ retentive mounting feature, outperform all other interference fit, press fit and compliance fit type terminals. Developed for easy PCB assembly, Accu-Post™ terminals eliminate the need for the tight mounting hole tolerance required with traditional press and compliant fit terminals.

The Accu-Lok mounting leg design enters freely within the PCB mounting hole. It mounts without producing stress, deformation, cracks or warpage to the PCB. Retention is accomplished by a controlled splitting and forming of the terminal leg. With a mounting hole tolerance of ±0.003″ (±0.076mm), this produces superior retentive strength, perpendicularity and solder joint integrity. Forces due to mating, withdrawal, vibration, shock, or temperature cycles are not transferred to the PCB solder joint. The instances of fractured, loose, or misaligned terminals and damaged solder joints are greatly reduced.

Accu-Post™ terminals are available in reeled format, in 0.045″ (1.14mm) square and 0.031″ x 0.062″ (0.79mm x 1.57mm) post sizes. PCB assembly is accomplished with semi- and fullyautomated applicators.
