Press-Fit Terminals: The Zero-Solder Solution Securing EV Battery Safety

press-fit terminals

FPIC’s Precision Metal Terminals Redefine Reliability for New Energy Vehicles

In the rapidly evolving world of electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS), every connection matters. Behind the silent efficiency of a battery pack lies a complex web of conductors, sensors, and signal interfaces — all of which must perform flawlessly under vibration, heat, and extreme environmental conditions.

Traditionally, engineers relied on solder joints to attach sampling wires or signal leads to printed circuit boards (PCBs). However, as vehicles endure long-term vibration and frequent temperature changes, solder points can crack, loosen, or fail — leading to signal interruptions, system alarms, and even vehicle shutdowns.

To eliminate this hidden risk, the industry has embraced a new generation of eyelet terminals (also known as fish-eye terminals) — a zero-solder, press-fit connection technology that has become the benchmark for safety and reliability in modern EV battery systems.

1️⃣ Zero-Solder Technology for Reliable, Long-Term Connections

Eyelet terminals replace traditional soldering with mechanical press-fit technology.
Each terminal is precisely inserted into a plated through-hole on the PCB, forming a gas-tight, cold-welded mechanical bond without heat or solder.

This approach eliminates problems like cold joints, thermal stress, and oxidation, ensuring stable electrical conductivity throughout the battery’s life cycle.
For high-current and high-vibration applications, it offers a proven reliability advantage — meeting the demanding standards of automotive-grade safety.

2️⃣ Optimized Contact Design for Signal Integrity

The terminal’s unique spring-like geometry maintains constant pressure within the hole, minimizing contact resistance and ensuring low temperature rise even under heavy current flow.

By preserving signal integrity in high-load environments, eyelet terminals ensure accurate battery monitoring, voltage sensing, and cell balancing — critical to the safe operation of every EV.

3️⃣ Higher Assembly Efficiency, Lower Manufacturing Risk

Eyelet terminals simplify the manufacturing process by eliminating the need for soldering, flux cleaning, and heat management.
This leads to:
✅ Shorter assembly cycles
✅ Lower defect rates
✅ Improved automation compatibility

For large-scale EV battery production, such as power battery modules and BMS systems, this technology significantly improves throughput, consistency, and process control — perfectly aligning with the industry’s move toward smart manufacturing.

4️⃣ Eco-Friendly Manufacturing for a Sustainable Future

Since no solder or flux is required, press-fit terminal production avoids emissions from solder fumes and reduces waste from cleaning chemicals.
This aligns perfectly with the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives of leading automotive OEMs — supporting green manufacturing and sustainability throughout the supply chain.

5️⃣ Vibration Resistance and Structural Reinforcement

FPIC’s eyelet terminals feature a preformed elastic zone that absorbs vibration and compensates for mechanical stress.
Combined with over-molding technology, this ensures that the terminal remains firmly anchored to the PCB — even under severe vibration and impact.

The result: no loosening, no micro-cracks, and no signal failure, even after tens of thousands of vibration cycles.

6️⃣ Performance in Extreme Environments

Through advanced materials and precision forming, FPIC’s terminals achieve wide temperature tolerance (-40°C to +125°C), excellent corrosion resistance, and stable contact pressure over the product’s full lifecycle.

Whether it’s a fast-charging EV at 125°C, a cold-start at -40°C, or coastal salt-fog exposure, FPIC’s terminals maintain consistent performance and safety.

7️⃣ Full Lifecycle Reliability Testing

Every FPIC eyelet terminal undergoes comprehensive testing in our in-house laboratory, including:

  • Insertion & extraction force validation

  • Thermal cycling and vibration endurance

  • Temperature rise testing

  • Corrosion resistance & salt spray testing

  • Dimensional inspection via KEYENCE systems

This ensures each part meets the highest standards of IATF 16949, ISO 9001, and VDA 19.1 for automotive components — guaranteeing full traceability and reliability across the production chain.

8️⃣ Expanding Applications in EV and Energy Storage Systems

From battery module assemblies and power distribution units (PDUs) to on-board chargers and energy storage containers, eyelet terminals are enabling modular, maintainable, and scalable designs for the new energy era.

Why Salt Spray Test So Important for Automotive Connectors?

salt spray test machine

Automotive connectors are the unsung heroes behind modern vehicle electronics. From lighting control to infotainment, these tiny components ensure secure signal and power transmission in environments that are anything but gentle. Moisture, vibration, high temperatures — and especially salt — are constant threats. That’s why the salt spray test is a vital benchmark in ensuring durability and long-term performance.

What Is a Salt Spray Test?

A salt spray test (or salt fog test) is a laboratory procedure used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of materials and coatings. Connectors are placed in a sealed chamber filled with a fine mist of 5% salt solution, replicating years of exposure to harsh environmental conditions like road salt, coastal air, and chemical spray — all common in real-world automotive scenarios.

This test runs for 48, 72, or even 96 hours, with results used to validate how well a connector can withstand corrosion without compromising its structural or electrical integrity.
