FEATURES:

Designed for hand, wave or reflow* soldering. The Organic Fibre Plug® prevents solder, paste or flux from contaminating the spring contact. 

After soldering, the OFP® is knocked out of the receptacle when the device is plugged in. 

Available as loose receptacles on Tape and Reel or in Strip Sockets

834* (Single Row) and 835* (Double Row) Series Pass Thru Sockets have a low .130” profile and will accept Ø.030” round pin, as well as industry standard .025” square pin headers.

All Mill-Max receptacles use a precision machined brass housing with a press-fit beryllium copper “multi-finger” contact (heat-treated BeCu is the best electrical spring contact material).

Mill-Max also supplies select OFP® receptacles on tape as well as standard receptacles on tape per EIA-481 for industry standard pick and place machines. 

You may request a datasheet with a free bag of samples of a loose receptacle for evaluation via email, or click the link to the right to download. Ask for Datasheet number PR565.

*Intrusive reflow (also called "pin-in-paste") is a technique of using conventional thru-hole components in a reflow soldering process. The receptacles are placed into plated-thru-holes in the circuit board (solder paste has previously been screen printed on pads adjacent to the holes) and the board is reflowed in the same pass as other SMT components. Solder will fill the plated-thru-holes and achieve solder joints as reliable as wave soldering. The Organic Fibre Plug® prevents solder paste from being picked-up inside the contact during pick ‘n place assembly.

"Overprinting" paste on the solder mask can be used to adjust the volume of paste required to fill each hole.
