Contact is cost-effective alternative to turned PCB sockets

Stackable on 2.54mm pitch spacing, the design of the contacts features a two point contact system ensuring secure retention whilst facilitating easy removal and replacement of the socketed component.

Paul Gillam, Product Manager, Harwin, comments: “Ideal for contact pins, discrete components, sensors etc, these new EZ-Board sockets will suit applications in many mid- to high-volume markets, ranging from consumer electronics through to the industrial, instrumentation and control systems environments. Typical examples include wireless security systems, ventilation fan stators, fire detectors and electronic switches, where low cost, effective connections need to be achieved within the demands of high volume assembly practices."
