Two Power Blades at 30 A — What the Press-Fit and 8 mm Pitch Buy You
The 1710908402: The press-fit termination means the compliant pins cold-weld into plated through-holes during assembly — no solder, no thermal shock to the board, and the joint is rework-friendly if a pin ever needs replacing. This is a backplane-grade termination, typically found in power distribution sections of servers, industrial controllers, and battery interconnect assemblies where vibration resistance and field-service access matter.

Right-Angle Press-Fit — Board Layout Notes
The press-fit tail requires a specific plated through-hole diameter in the board layout; the manufacturer's application drawing (available in the 171090 series documentation) gives the finished hole size and the PCB keep-out zone around the compliant pin.
