Surface mount 3-point pcb sockets are robust

Electronics Interconnect Supply Chain pcb sockets pcb socketsHARWIN Sycamore Contact series of surface mount pcb sockets covers pin sizes from 0.80 to 1.90mm and allow odd-form devices/modules that are not suited to regularly-spaced socket strip arrangements to be attached without any future inconvenience, should removal be required at a later stage. Whereas other contact solutions of this kind only comprise 2 points of contact to the mating pin, making them vulnerable to exposure from vibrational forces, the patent pending design of the Sycamore Contact gives engineers access to 3 contact points. This markedly improves operational stability, as well as delivering stronger pin retention and heightened levels of signal integrity. Available in both top-entry and bottom-entry configurations, devices have a current rating of 6A and a 15mΩ (maximum) contact resistance.
