Product Spotlight: Mill-Max Expands Offering of Discrete Insulated Spring-Loaded Pins

New Line of SMT Pogo Pins from Mill-Max

Mill-Max recently announced that it will be expanding its line of discrete insulated spring-load pogo pins. Mill-Max has seen increased demand for SMT pins causing them to supplement their widely used 807 series pins with the new 0907 and 0906 series SMT pins. The expanded series off spring-loaded pins will range in height from .255” (6.48mm) to .430” (10.9mm) for the 0907 series and .137” (3.48mm) to .236” (5.99mm) for the 0906 series.  Insulated spring-loaded pogo pins are ideal for applications that require electrical isolation. Nylon 46 insulators are used to isolate the pin from other conductive elements on applications such as PCBs or conductive housings.  For more technical details view the 0907 series and 0906 series catalog pages.

4 Types of Board-to-Board Connectors

Board-to-board connectors provide a reliable plug-able connection between printed circuit boards (PCBs). Board-to-board connectors provide particular advantage in that they allow PCBs to be easily replaced and upgraded. Although available in many configurations all board-to-board connectors operate on the basic premise of male pins mating with female sockets. Among the many variations in board-to-board connectors are fine pitch board-to-board connectors, SMT board-to-board connectors, right angle board-to-board connectors, and spring-loaded board-to-board connectors.

PcB connector Types

  • Fine pitch connectors are ideal for electronic applications where space is extremely limited. Fine pitch board-to-board connectors offer low mating heights, narrow bodies, and allow for easy mating and assembly.
  • SMT connectors allow PC boards that only have surface mount components to be connected quickly and reliably. SMT board-to-board connectors eliminate requirements for drilling and can undergo reflow soldering along with other surface mount components.
  • Right angle connectors like their name insinuates allow connections at right angles. Thus vertical and horizontal PCBs can be connected without changing their orientation.
  • Spring-loaded connectors contain springs that allow for a secure connection despite fluctuations in spacing between the boards. Spring-loaded board-to-board connectors are ideal for applications like portable equipment that endure constant movement and vibration.

bisco industries offers these board-to-board connectors and many more from leading manufacturers like Mill-Max. Mill-Max utilizes proprietary machining processes to reduce connector tolerances, increase manufacturing speed, and simplify product customization.
