Versatile Socket Interconnects For .025 Dia. And .025 Square Pins Single and Double Rows
Mill-Max introduces versatile socket interconnects for .025 pin diameter and .025 square pins in both single and double rows. These receptacles are precision-machined from brass alloy and assembled with our #16 contact – six-finger contact clips designed to accept mated pin ranges from .022 to .034 diameter and .025 square posts. The Mill-Max #16 contact clip is rated at 4.5 amps per position.
Mill-Max Adds Surface Mount Transistor Sockets to its Line of TO-5 and TO-100 Through-Hole Sockets
TO-5 and TO-100 transistor sockets make field insertion and removal easy and convenient. Inside each transistor socket are precision machined, brass alloy receptacles assembled with a Mill-Max, 4-finger #30 contact.
Versatile PCB terminal pins
Vero Technologies' PCB terminal pin family all feature either a knurled or a 4-zone barbed pressfit design to ensure good electrical continuity in PTH boards and to resist rotation or withdrawal during use. Terminal pins are predominantly used during original prototyping during development or for breadboarding modifications, extensions or adaptations in existing board layouts. Typically hand assembled into the PCB, they are an efficient low cost way of providing a selection of physical interconnect interfaces with single-sided, double-sided or multilayer PCBs. Available designs include ones to which leaded components can be soldered, mini wire-wrap sockets, headers and test points, all in single and double sided options. Also available are wire wrap pins with a 0.86 mm diagonal that are suitable for conventional standard and modified wrap techniques.
Micro-Interconnects for Medical Cable Applications
Mill-Max offers two new pin/socket interconnect pairs for high-density grid applications such as the termination of medical cables. Both pin and receptacle are manufactured using precision turning technology. The receptacle shell is seamless and sturdy, and comes assembled with a hi-rel. BeCu spring contact that makes excellent electrical and mechanical contact to the mating pin. Insertion/extraction forces are low permitting their use in high-density arrays. All components are gold-plated.
Partially loaded board-to-board connectors to match customer specs
Board-to-board connectors that are not fully loaded are used in many applications, either because safety considerations require this (for instance to guard against spark-over voltages) and/or because they provide a way to reduce cost and weight. For instance, according to the DIN EN 60664-5 (VDE 0110-5):2008-05 standard, clearance and creepage distances must be implemented in such a way as to provide the best possible protection for people and material assets against the effects of electrical voltages or currents (or against problems caused by equipment failures).

Mezza-pede SMT Connectors from Advanced Interconnections Corp. are now available with 36 positions. Designed for 1mm pitch micro board-to-board and flex cable-to-board applications, the low profile Mezza-pede Connector system has passed the mixed flowing gas (MFG) test and is especially suited for high reliability applications from military to medical and other demanding environments.
Mill-Max’s Smallest Receptacle
To date, this is the smallest receptacle Mill-Max has ever made. The Mill-Max #8210 receptacle is a combination of a precision machined shell and a stamped 3-finger beryllium copper spring contact. The contact accepts mating pins in the range .008 to .013 diameter, and the shell has a .012 diameter tail. The shell and contact are both gold plated for a long service life.

Mill-Max series 117, 127, 217 & 227 shrinkDIP sockets accommodate memory chips and components which have pin-to-pin spacing of .070" (1,778mm). The reduced pattern of the shrinkDIP series also saves valuable board space for board-to-board connections as more pin connections can be made using less "real estate" than standard .100" pitch patterns. They can also be mated with series 162 shrinkDIP headers for board-to-board connections.
Radiall Licenses Molex as Second Source for SMP-MAX Board-to-Board Connectors

A new cost-saving plastic connector which eliminates the need to use board- to-board connectors has been developed by ITT Interconnect Solutions. The APD direct PCB connector provides a direct interface into the "box" but is connected to a PCB internally, instead of using the standard crimped cable connection. Additionally, this new connector requires no harnessing which saves board space and results in reduced manufacturing costs.
Mill-Max Adds .050” Grid SMT Z-Bend Sockets and Headers
Mill-Max now offers a choice between .050" (1,270 mm) and .100" (2,540 mm) grid horizontal Z-Bend sockets and receptacles. For low profile IO applications, these surface mount SIP socket and header strips are assembled parallel to their board surface.

Lane’s Edgecard PCB Connectors Fill The Gap Left By Viking’s Closure
Lane Electronics, one of the UK's leading interconnection specialists, has expanded production and assembly of the ITW McMurdo Edgecard PCB connector range. Designers looking for modular edge connectors will no doubt be aware that Viking Interconnection Systems ceased production towards the end of last year depriving Viking customers of a reliable supply of edge connectors, particularly the popular and established VMA series of 0.100in (2.54mm) pitch modular edge connectors.
Mill-Max SMT Strip Sockets and Pin Headers Make the Connection
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.
Press-Fit Compliant Body Receptacles

Mill-Max Receptacles and Pass Through Sockets With Organic Fibre Plug Solder Barrier
Mill-Max's knock-out-bottom receptacles are discrete sockets for soldering into printed circuit boards. Twelve sizes are now available; ten have carrier tape as standard packaging. Tape packaging is becoming increasingly popular since it permits through-hole components to be placed simultaneously with surface mount parts on pick-'n-place assembly lines. The knock-out-bottom feature enables these sockets to be made short enough to stand upright in a carrier tape pocket. The OFP barrier then permits the sockets to be vacuum picked from the tape prior to placement in a hole in the circuit board.

The 2-position through 6-position connector surface-mounts on the top of the board, passing through the board to present an underside interface. The connector mates with standard Mini CT connectors. The inverted design allows simpler assembly and installation of solid-state LED lighting in architectural, residential, and commercial applications. The Mini CT connector is rated for 3 amps per contact, on 24 AWG wire.
AVX’s Board-to-Board Connectors Save Board Space
AVX has developed a series of low-profile board-to-board connectors that feature a small form factor of 3.0mm stacking height with a 0.4mm pitch contact. Designated the 5846 Series, the connectors provide increased board space for high-density power components placed between PCBs. The rugged board-to-board connectors are constructed in a pinched contact structure and feature a fully insulated bottom plate that protects the contacts, making the device highly resistant to vibration, drop shock, and short-circuits in respect to printed tracks on the PCB.

ITT's 100 position MDM PCB connector provides high density signals and EMI shielding
A micro connector which can provide one hundred signals in a lightweight and compact package has been developed by leading hi-rel connector company, ITT Interconnect Solutions. The 100 position 1.27mm (0.050in) pitch MDM PCB connector allows for maximum signal density in applications where board space is restricted due to the number and size of other components. Effective EMI shielding is integrated into the connector by means of special back moulding processes, saving further space and weight on the board. Very short reach signals can be achieved as the interconnect can be terminated to flex circuitry.
