Mill-Max’s 829 series single-row, right-angle strips are the perfect solution for applications calling for a spring-loaded connection that lies parallel to the pc board. Spring-loaded connectors (SLC) are commonly used to provide a high quality battery interface connection and in applications such as board-to-board interconnects and blind mate assemblies. This low profile, right angle connector is ideal for the small packaging requirements of...

For customers looking for a spring way to connect a Mill-Max Spring-loaded Connector to a wire or cable, Mill-Max is pleased to announce two new innovative designs.

Mill-Max has developed high density, .050” pitch through-hole and surface mount spring-loaded connectors (SLC) available in single and double-row strip packaging. Each precision-machined spring pin component is plated 20µ” hard gold and assembled in a high temperature thermoplastic insulator suitable for wave and reflow soldering processes. Every Mill-Max SLC is RoHS compliant.

Series 296, 299 and 594 vertical display sockets are used to mount dot matrix and 7-segment LED displays at the edge of and perpendicular to a printed circuit board. This positions the display directly behind the translucent front panel of the equipment.

Mill-Max introduces versatile socket interconnects for .025 pin diameter and .025 square pins in both single and double rows. These receptacles are precision-machined from brass alloy and assembled with our #16 contact – six-finger contact clips designed to accept mated pin ranges from .022 to .034 diameter and .025 square posts. The Mill-Max #16 contact clip is rated at 4.5 amps per position.

TO-5 and TO-100 transistor sockets make field insertion and removal easy and convenient. Inside each transistor socket are precision machined, brass alloy receptacles assembled with a Mill-Max, 4-finger #30 contact.

Mill-Max offers two new pin/socket interconnect pairs for high-density grid applications such as the termination of medical cables. Both pin and receptacle are manufactured using precision turning technology. The receptacle shell is seamless and sturdy, and comes assembled with a hi-rel. BeCu spring contact that makes excellent electrical and mechanical contact to the mating pin. Insertion/extraction forces are low permitting their use in high-d...

To date, this is the smallest receptacle Mill-Max has ever made. The Mill-Max #8210 receptacle is a combination of a precision machined shell and a stamped 3-finger beryllium copper spring contact. The contact accepts mating pins in the range .008 to .013 diameter, and the shell has a .012 diameter tail. The shell and contact are both gold plated for a long service life.

Mill-Max offers a quick and efficient method to terminate discrete wires into a pluggable interconnect with our Solder Cup Headers and mating Socket Connectors. They provide a convenient pluggable, reliable path between your wired applications.

Mill-Max is pleased to announce threading and tapping capabilities (metric and inch sizes) for implementation on custom socket receptacles.

Mill-Max introduced the new 810 series Horizontal SMT Spring-loaded Connectors. 810 series connectors are ideal for low profile spring interconnections parallel to the board surface. Applications are recharging modules, grounding points, test points and board edge-to-edge interfaces, typically to our mating target connectors.

Mill-Max series 117, 127, 217 & 227 shrinkDIP sockets accommodate memory chips and components which have pin-to-pin spacing of .070” (1,778mm). The reduced pattern of the shrinkDIP series also saves valuable board space for board-to-board connections as more pin connections can be made using less “real estate” than standard .100” pitch patterns. They can also be mated with series 162 shrinkDIP headers for board-to-board connections.

Mill-Max has expanded its USB family to include two new mini USB receptacles. These mini USB connectors offer more options when smaller solutions are necessary.

Need to create a wired crimp interconnection but don't know where to start?

Mill-Max now offers a choice between .050” (1,270 mm) and .100” (2,540 mm) grid horizontal Z-Bend sockets and receptacles. For low profile IO applications, these surface mount SIP socket and header strips are assembled parallel to their board surface. They are ideal for placement near the board edge for easy access test connections and creating pluggable adapter modules which can sit perpendicular to the motherboard (mated to a vertical conn...

Mill-Max Target Connectors provide a convenient mating surface to connect with Mill-Max spring pins. They can be utilized in any spring pin application requiring conductive lands. Examples are: board stacking, elevated circuits or recharging applications.

If you need to create a surface mount interconnect between two printed circuit boards, Mill-Max SMT Strip Sockets and Pin Headers provide the perfect combination for this application. Both the socket receptacle and the header pin feature a round stub-tail termination, providing the benefit of a reduced solder footprint inside the package outline. The .008” floating pin design compensates for the peaks and valleys found in uneven solder paste ...

Mill-Max is pleased to announce the development of a unique, low-profile, compliant body socket receptacle capable of press-fitting in FR-4 mounting holes between .041” - .044” (1,04mm – 1,12mm) in diameter.

Mill-Max’s knock-out-bottom receptacles are discrete sockets for soldering into printed circuit boards. Twelve sizes are now available; ten have carrier tape as standard packaging. Tape packaging is becoming increasingly popular since it permits through-hole components to be placed simultaneously with surface mount parts on pick-’n-place assembly lines. The knock-out-bottom feature enables these sockets to be made short enough to stand uprigh...

Mill-Max is pleased to announce the development of several new SMT Spring-Loaded Connectors. All are offered as discrete contacts and many are available in tape and reel packaging.
