IPC-9797A is the only industry-consensus standard for Requirements and Acceptance of Press-fit Pins. IPC-9797 describes materials, methods, tests and acceptance criteria for solderless press-fit pin connections.

IPC-9797 is supported by IPC-HDBK-9798 “Handbook for Press-fit Standard for Automotive Requirements and other High-Reliability Applications” for those wanting additional information and explanation for press-fit technology.
