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.
Since this receptacle has an outside diameter of only .026, it has application in miniature connectors with grid spacing down to and even below 0,8mm.



A common application would be to make socket savers for fine pitch ZIF test and burn-in sockets. Here the miniature socket assembly is soldered to the burn-in board, and the ZIF burn-in socket is plugged into it. The ZIF socket can then be easily replaced at the end of its life without having to replace the burn-in board.



It is also suitable for other miniature applications, such as the machine-patient interface of medical instruments.



Mill-Max is a leading manufacturer of high-rel connectors with machined FR-4 and molded insulators. The #8210 receptacle can easily be incorporated into customer specific assemblies.
