Low-profile 2mm test sockets have gold-plated contacts
Harwin is launching a new range of PCB-mounted, dual-entry test sockets that accept a 2mm pin. These low-profile devices measure only 5.16mm max above the board when mounted, and feature gold-plated contacts to ensure excellent electrical performance.
The dual-entry sockets facilitate easy access. Devices feature a flat upper surface to enable automated pick-and-place assembly. Both SMT and PTH devices are available: surface mount versions are supplied on tape and reel packaging for automated production or loose for prototyping; through hole styles are available in three different colours to facilitate to colour-coding of functions. Devices are rated at 5A, 1500V. They have a contact resistance of 5mΩ (max), and an operating temperature of -40C to +105degC.
Product Manager, Graham Cunningham comments: "Key applications include high-current test points and wire-to-board connections used in a wide range of market segments such as power supplies, instrumentation, traffic signaling, energy and healthcare."
The dual-entry test sockets are immediately available from stock, on low MOQs to enable prototyping and pre-production design. Please go to www.harwin.com for further details.
