As compared to existing 0.64mm SMT Press-Fit interconnects these are High Density 0.40mm SMT Press-Fit Interconnects with 1.8mm Centerlines
This maximizes mechanical strength of SMT-to-PCB Connection
The new smaller 0.40mm SMT Press-Fit connectors are packaged in EIA standard Tape & Reel can be placed along with other SMT components on the first PCB and are compatible with all SMT soldering processes.
With eye-of-the-needle press-fit contacts to connect the second PCB, this approach eliminates the need for secondary soldering operations and the risks associated with re-heating either of the assembled PCBs. 
The new 0.40mm SMT Press-Fit interconnects are designed specifically to accommodate smaller and denser PCB-to-PCB right-angle interface applications necessary for more compact mobile and miniaturized devices. In these applications, where PCB space is very limited, the ability to minimize interconnect footprints on both PCBs can be a critical factor.
SMT Press-Fit connectors have been designed to the following specifications:
- Maximum operating temperature: 125°C.
- High conductivity material for up to 8 amps per contact
- Contact resistance: 5 mW max at press-fit Interface
- 20N minimum retention force per each press-fit contact
