3.0 MECHANICAL REQUIREMENTS
3.1 EXAMINATION OF PRODUCT
Samples must comply to applicable FCI product prints.
3.2 INSERTION / WITHDRAWAL FORCE- ADD IN CARD
PER EIA-364-13
Mating cycle is with maximum/minimum thickness gage at a rate of 25.4 mm/minute.
3.2.1 Maximum insertion force is 1.15 N max. per contact pair when measured with a 1.70
+0.00/- 0.01(0.067 +0.000/ -0.004 inches) thick hardened steel card made to the
dimensions shown for the PCI Express expansion board in the FCI customer drawing.
The card has a R0.05 min., R0.10 max.(sharpedge)and the surface roughness in
connector area to be 0.10 micrometers (4 microinches) maximum.
3.2.2 Withdrawal force is 0.15N minimum per contact pair when measured with a 1.44 +0.01/-
0.00 (0.067 +0.004/-0.000 inches) thick FR-4 PCB card made to the dimensions shown for
the PCI Express expansion board in the FCI customer drawing. The card has a R0.05
min., R0.10 max (sharp edge) and the surface roughness in the connector area to be 0.10
micrometers (4 microinches) maximum.
3.3 CONTACT RETENTION
Minimum retention force of terminals in the connector housing to be 3N each. Pull rate to
be 1.27 mm/min.
3.4 BOARD RETENTION / INSERTION FORCES
3.4.1 EON retention/insertion force should be checked on an 1.57
0.13(0.093
0.05 inch)
thick segment of FR-4 glass/epoxy circuit board segment with a hole of diameter 0.72
0.06 mm drilled through.
At a rate of 2.5
6 mm per minute:
Insert force no more than 4.54 Kgf(10Lbs) per pin.
Retention force no less than 0.67 Kgf(1.5Lbs) per pin.
3.4.2 PCB Hole Deformation Radius-Cross-section parallel to board surface. Photograph and
measure the hole deformation (deformation on board material) radius at a point 0.010”
from the surface, and at the center of the compliant pin section. Include 10 holes. The
average (of 10 holes) hole deformation radius shall be no greater than 0.0381 mm
(0.0015 in)when measured from the drilled hole. The absolute maximum deformation
radius shall not exceed 0.0508 mm (0.002 in). Reference MIL-STD-2166.
3.4.3 PCB Hole Wall Damage-Cross-section perpendicular to the board surface, and through
the compliant section wear track. Photograph and measure the copper thickness
remaining between the compliant pin and the printed wiring board laminate. Include 10
holes. The minimum average (of 10 holes) copper thickness remaining between the
compliant pin and the printed wiring board laminate shall not be less than 0.00762
mm(0.0003 in). In addition there shall be no copper cracks, separations between
conductive interfaces, or laminate-to-copper separations. Reference MIL-STD-2166.
