Mill-Max has developed three series of low profile spring pins for applications where above board height is limited. The low profile spring pins are suitable for board-to-board or device-to-board connections. The spring pins provide above PCB height profiles and through-hole or SMT options. The 0921-X and 0926-X series are through-hole mount and have either 0.5 or 0.7mm mid-stroke travel. The 0965 series is for surface mount applications and has 0.3mm mid stroke travel. Gold-plated components and springs ensure good conductivity, corrosion resistance and durability, claims the company. All three pins are rated for 1 million cycles and have a current rating of 2A continuous use and maximum current rating of 3A. The pins are available in standard packaging. For applications requiring a single or double row strip or custom layout of pins other packaging options are available. The 0926-X and 0965 pins can be mounted into machined Fr-4 epoxy insulators while the 0921-X pins can be supplied on removable Kapton tape.
