Mill-Max Spring Loaded Pins Now Offer Removable Pick and Place Caps

---

A new option of removable pick and place caps has been announced by Mill-Max manufacturing corp. The line is called the 806 series and features the standard Mill-Max pins but with a new spring loaded removable cap to keep pins centered and protected. The cap offers an easy target for automated vacuum pick-ups when they are removed after the soldering process.

Pins and small terminals are not the easiest target for automated vacuum systems. By adding a low cost and easily removable pin cover, Mill-Max improved the quality and consistence of the pin solders on their assemblies. The caps cover the spring loaded pins and are removed robotically after the initial assembly process. The caps slip over the pin without damaging the plunger and grip with four projections.

The 806 series has four through hole style spring pins and nine surface mount options. All parts are packaged to EIA standards on 13” reels. The caps are made of high quality nylon that are suitable for the midrange temperatures of most automated soldering. Pins are machined with a low tolerance for error. Gold plating ensures the pins conductivity and resistance to corrosion. Pins are rated for an average of 2A of current with the maximum at 3A.

Mill-Max spring loaded pins are build on machines that can both cut and mill to create complex geometry surfaces. Profiles can be a multitude of shapes, not limited to typical pin styles. Pins can also be from various different metals and alloys such as brass, copper, and even phosphor bronze. Mill-Max only used the highest quality conductive metals to ensure the best current flow and low resistance. High quality machined pins should be chosen by those looking for consistency and short lead time. Avoid die cast pins if tolerance is a top concern.
