Mill-Max spring-loaded pin has a maximum stroke of 0.118 in.

Spring-loaded pin provides greater compliancy for mobile devices

With an initial height of 0.379 in., the 0919-0-15-20-89-14-11-0 spring-loaded pin has a maximum stroke of 0.118 in. Designed for surface-mounting, the spring-loaded pin has a recommended working travel range of 0.030 to 0.100 in. and can be used at a minimum spacing of 0.100 in.

The pin is suited for applications where greater compliancy is desired. That is, it can compensate for problematic tolerance stack-ups in assemblies with board-to-board or device-to-board connections, allowing a greater range of movement between mating components to provide stable connectivity in assemblies subject to motion, particularly those that use more flexible housings and materials, such as mobile devices. When compressed to mid-stroke, the pin still has 0.040-in. additional travel while remaining in the recommended working range.

Because the 0919 has more stroke capability, it provides higher forces at its recommended working travel than similar spring pins of this scale, which helps to maintain reliable contact during cycles of high shock and vibration. The 0919 exhibits an average 85-gram force at mid-stroke with the ability to achieve 127 grams at the minimum recommended travel.

The pin has a hard stop incorporated to prevent over-compression and minimize the risk of damage to the spring. Gold-plated brass components and stainless steel springs are used to ensure high reliability, corrosion resistance, and durability. The spring-loaded plunger is suitable for mating with gold-plated PCB pads or Mill-Max target pins and connectors.

The pin is also available packaged in single- (837-22-0XX-30-0011X1) and double-row (839-22-0XX-30-0011X1) strips on 0.100-in. centers; the strips can be delivered bulk-packaged or on reel.
