Providing BIZON® press-fit technology, ZETKA offers an innovative solderless contacting system for all requirements in the automotive supply industry, electrical engineering, power electronics and any other application where secure contact connection to a printed circuit board or metal plate defines the quality of the final product.

This press-fit technology is a solder-free, robust, secure electrical connection technology in which preferably elastic, formable pins are connected into metallised (copper-plated) printed circuit board holes with defined dimensions at a defined speed using a press-fit facility. This produces a permanent gas-tight mechanical and electrically low-resistance connection (cold welding) at the contact surfaces between the press-fit pin and the hole's metallic inner wall. The unique spring properties of the BIZON® press-fit contact prevent any damage to the printed circuit board if the press-fit process is carried out correctly.

The key aspect and major benefit of BIZON® press-fit technology lies in providing the greatest possible square cross-section with accurate self-centring in the PCB hole. The conductor cross-section this achieves is approx. 72% of the hole cross-section, permitting a high electrical strength per contact. With its four defined contact areas, each BIZON® contact provides maximum contact surfaces and, as such, outstanding and secure contact properties.

Depending on the application, you can avoid unnecessary cost and time-intensive surface finishes in the press-fit zone by using bare BIZON® contacts. This prevents the formation of whiskers and tin chips which can lead to failure of the entire assembly down the line.
