All SMT spring-loaded connectors available on reel and tape

Mill-Max has announced that, with the addition of the 855-22-XXX-30-002191, 815-22-0XX-30-001191, 817-22-0XX-30-00119 series, all its SMT spring-loaded connectors are now offered on tape and reel for automated pick & place assembly.

The 855-22-XXX-30-002191, from 4 to 40 positions, are double row and on a space-saving .050-in. (1.27-mm) grid. Each spring pin features a base geometry of 0.029 in. (0.74 mm) round by 0.010 in. (0.25 mm) tall to maximize soldering surface area and provide secure attachment to the PCB.  They can now be supplied on tape and reel, thanks to a special “cap” which provides a pick & place surface for easy removal from the pocket and placement on the board. Each pin position has its own size tape. Please speak with an applications engineer for details.

The lowest profile spring-loaded connectors, just 0.100 in. high, are offered in single row, (series 815-22-0XX-30-001191) and double row (series 817-22-0XX-30-001191) versions, both on a 0.100-in. (2.54-mm) grid. The single row is available in 2 to 10 positions and the double row in 4 to 20 positions.  Both the 815 and 817 series have a mid-stroke travel of 0.012 in. (0.3 mm) and full stroke capability of 0.020 to 0.024 in. (0.508 – 0.61 mm). These connectors are well suited for surface mount applications where above board height is limited. The 815 series is packaged on 44-mm wide tape, 910 parts per 13-in. reel; the 817 series comes on 44-mm wide tape, 680 parts per 13-in. reel.
