Connectors designed for combined signal and power transmission have been introduced by Mill-Max. The devices, which include a five-pin, cable-to-board socket and header and a 40-pin board-to-board header and socket, remove the need for separate connectors for power and signal transmissions. The five-pin connectors feature two contacts for power and three for signal, while the 40-pin connectors have 30 signal contacts and 10 power contacts.

Mill-Max adds 2mm pitch products to our family of shrouded male pin connectors for higher density applications. Like our .100” pitch series, these connectors are effective where a robust, secure connection is demanded, such as frequently mated interconnects and blind mate situations.

Mill-Max has added a second version to our 829 series single-row, right-angle, spring-loaded connectors. The new connector, 829-22-0XX-20-002101, has an increased mid-stroke distance of .045” (.090” full stroke) – close to double most standard series products and providing more flexibility and tolerance for your assembly.

Mill-Max has added a heavier gauge option to our line of SMT interconnect headers with the introduction of two new connectors. Our latest Series 349 and 449 SMT male pin header strips feature sturdy .030” (0,76mm) diameter pin tails which plug easily into a variety of standard Mill-Max mating socket strips. The mating sockets are available in through-hole, right-angle and SMT configurations.

Mill-Max introduces our lowest profile spring-loaded connectors, just .100” in height. The trend toward miniaturization in electronic packaging demands ever smaller interconnects that deliver high quality performance. For board-to-board or device-to-board connections, these low profile spring-loaded connectors are a practical solution.

Mill-Max has expanded its USB family to include four new USB 3.0 connectors. USB 3.0, SuperSpeed USB, provides a 10 X faster data transfer rate over Hi-Speed USB with a 5 Gbps signaling rate. SuperSpeed USB is a Sync-N-Go technology that minimizes user wait time and provides optimized power efficiency. Mill-Max is offering both standard size and micro USB 3.0 connectors. USB 3.0 is fully backwards compatible with USB 2.0.

Mill-Max has today launched a micro-miniature option to their organic fibre plug receptacle lineup. The newest Mill-Max socket receptacle, 4428-0-43-15-04-14-10-0, is our tiniest OFP receptacle ever. Optimized for high-density packaging down to 1 mm pitch, this micro-miniature, ultra-low profile receptacle accepts .008”-.013” device leads or mating pins and can be soldered into a hole as small as .030.”

Mill-Max is pleased to announce new additions to our line of fine pitch connectors with the introduction of 1 mm pitch headers and sockets. These through-hole, single row sockets and headers are ideal for real estate saving interconnect solutions.

Mill-Max is expanding its line of wire termination interconnects with new socket and header strips rated at 4.5 amps per contact. These connectors feature pins and receptacles with soldercups that can accept up to 20 AWG stranded & 18 AWG solid wires. They are a convenient and reliable method to make connections between discrete wires or cables and mating components such as PC boards or other cable assemblies.

Mill-Max introduces shrouded male pin connectors for applications where a robust, secure connection is demanded, such as frequently mated interconnects and blind mate conditions. These double row connectors come in 4 to 64 pin configurations and are available in through- hole and surface mount termination styles.

Mill-Max is pleased to introduce a new SMT pin for use as a test point or for low profile board-to-board connections. These pins are available packaged on tape & reel for pick-and-place assembly or in bulk for low volume requirements and prototyping. The part numbers are: 1508-0-57-15-00-00-03-0 for tape and reel packaging and 1508-0-00-15-00-00-03-0 for bulk.

Mill-Max has developed a series of ultra-low and low profile spring pins for applications where above board height is limited. As packaging requirements for electronics continue to shrink in size, traditional interconnects don’t always fit the bill. For board-to-board or device-to-board connections, low profile spring pins are a practical solution.

Mill-Max’s organic fibre plug (OFP) solder barrier receptacles are discrete sockets for through-hole soldering into printed circuit boards. These open bottom receptacles are fitted with organic fibre plugs to prevent solder, paste or flux from contaminating the internal contact during the placing and soldering process.

Mill-Max is pleased to announce the addition of three new large scale, high current spring pins to our expanding family of ruggedized spring-loaded products. In contrast to our miniature spring pins, which are typically used on .100” (2.54 mm) centers, these new offerings are for applications where greater spacing is required due to electrical and mechanical specifications.

Mill-Max introduces 64 position, 1 mm pitch mezzanine connectors for parallel board stacking interconnections. The connectors meet EIA-700 AAAB specifications for IEEE 1386 applications. IEEE 1386 is the industry standard for adding general functionality to motherboards and these mezzanine connectors are the perfect solution for connecting the common mezzanine card (CMC.) Some of the environments where this standard can be found are on VME, VM...

Mill-Max has added right angle options to our line of .070” (1,78 mm) pitch connectors. These single row right angle sockets and headers can be combined with vertical .070” (1,78 mm) pitch connectors for a variety of interconnect configurations. Additionally, the .070” (1,78 mm) pitch spacing allows for higher density packaging than .100” (2,54 mm) pitch, while providing the same current carrying capacity and mechanical strength.

Mill-Max has developed a convenient and reliable method to make connections between wires and mating components such as PCBs, batteries or other cable assemblies with our new single and double row solder cup spring pin header strips.

The new Mill-Max 804 and 805 series interconnects are ideal for high pin count I/O and board-to- board applications. The triple row pin field allows for signal connections to be more densely packaged. Also, placing and soldering one connector rather than three SIP sockets or a single and double row combination increases assembly efficiency and improves positional accuracy. This triple row package, on .100” (2.54 mm) grid, is available from 9 ...

Mill-Max’s 0967 is a low profile, horizontal, surface mount spring pin designed for edge board interface applications: board-to-board or device-to-board. Whereas most spring pins are designed to mount vertically on a pc board, the 0967 mounts parallel to the pc board so that the plunger travel is horizontal to the board surface. The above board height of .100” (2.54 mm) provides a low profile for tight packaging requirements. Typically mou...

Mill-Max now offers a series of rugged spring pins capable of carrying 9 amps continuous current at a low 10° C temperature rise. The Mill-Max 0850, 0851, 0852 and 0853 spring pins are the perfect solution for rugged applications and for use in circuits operating at currents above signal level.
