Miniature spring-loaded contacts serve .050” pitch applications
EP&T Magazine
Electronics Interconnect contact Interconnect Mill-Max pinsMILL-MAX Line of miniature spring-loaded pins and connectors address the ever-shrinking requirements of electronic device packaging while improving electrical and mechanical performance. Pins deliver a 33% reduction in height from comparable pins in the .050” pitch (1.27 mm) category. Interconnect products include discrete pins, along with connectors in single and double row versions. The pins: 0950-0-15-20-64-14-11-0 (SMT version) and the 0984-0-15-20-64-14-11-0 (through hole version) each have an above-board height of just .166” (4.2 mm), a full stroke capability of .040” (1 mm) and provide 50 grams of force at the mid-stroke working travel of .020” (.5 mm). Electrically, the pins are characterized by a contact resistance of less than 20 milliohms and a maximum current rating of 7 amps1 at a 30⁰ C temperature rise. Pins also meet the shock and vibration requirements of IEC standards 60512-6-3 and 60512-6-4.
