Mill-Max Press Release on SMT Strip Sockets and Pin Headers

Surface Mount Strip Sockets and Pin Headers If you need to create a surface mount interconnect between two printed circuit boards, Mill-Max SMT Strip Sockets and Pin Headers provide the perfect combination for this application. Both the socket receptacle and the header pin feature a round stub-tail termination, providing the benefit of a reduced solder footprint inside the package outline. The .008” floating pin design compensates for the peaks and valleys found in uneven solder paste application on the board surface, promoting good solder joints.

Pin-to-pin co planarity can be held to .005” for pin counts up to 20 positions (2x10.) For applications greater than 20 positions, consult Technical Services.

Manufactured from precision-machined brass pins and receptacles and assembled in high temperature thermoplastic, Mill-Max SMT Socket and Pin Header Interconnects provide a convenient pluggable and reliable path between circuit boards.

The sockets and headers are available in single row, 2-64 positions, or double row, 4-72 positions (2x2 – 2x36.) The pin headers are precision-machined using brass alloy 360 ½ hard, an alloy known for its strength, conductive and thermal properties. The sockets are assembled with beryllium copper contact clips, which make a gas-tight connection to the mated header pins.
