Mill-Max has added three new heights to its 0914 series of spring-loaded pins and corresponding single and double row connectors. The 0914 series has a mid-stroke distance of 1.14mm and a full stroke distance of 2.29mm, almost double most standard series products. This provides more flexibility and tolerance for assembly. These new, taller versions are useful for assemblies requiring greater distance between mating surfaces and contact points.

The current 0914-0-15-20-77-14-11-0 spring pin has an above board height of 7.67mm, while the three new versions provide an increase in height in increments of 0.76mm. The new versions will also be used to expand the current 825-22-0XX-10-00X101 and 827-22-0XX-10-00X101 series of single row and double row connectors.

The longer stroke provides great benefit in compensating for tolerance stack-ups and, combined with the increased height, makes the pins and connectors suitable for elevated board stacking applications. The 0914 series of spring pins feature solder tails for through-hole mounting, providing the support necessary for taller components to maintain a secure connection to the PC board.

Gold-plated brass components and beryllium copper springs ensure the highest conductivity, corrosion resistance and durability. The 825 and 827 series connectors feature the 0914-X spring-loaded pins rated at 2A continuous, use high temperature Nylon 46 insulators and are suitable for most soldering operations.
