SKEDD – The new way to connect

Various technologies exist to join the PCB with the component or connector. The most established of these on the market are soldering technology and press-fit technology. For reversible contacting, both technologies require two connection levels:

A socket base which is irreversibly pressed or soldered onto the printed circuit board.
The connector or the component that is plugged into the socket base.

SKEDD technology offers a simple and reliable alternative: Connectors and components can be connected to the circuit board without tools and can be extracted again. Thus, the socket base is unnecessary and material input as well as interfaces are reduced.
