Organic fibre plug solder barrier sockets for through-hole soldering
14 sizes/styles are now available, 13 have standard tape & reel packaging. The advantage of tape & reel packaging for these receptacles is it permits through-hole components to be placed simultaneously with surface mount parts on pick-’n-place assembly lines – eliminating the need to hand place the receptacles in an additional manufacturing step. The OFP barrier permits the sockets to be vacuum picked from the tape prior to placement in a hole in the circuit board. The knock-out-bottom feature enables these sockets to be made relatively short compared to many similar receptacles. The reduced length provides two advantages: the receptacles can stand upright and stable in a carrier tape pocket and the protrusion through the PCB is minimal, especially important when working with SMT boards. The open bottom receptacle design eliminates the need to trim long device leads that would otherwise bottom out in a closed receptacle design and also makes them ideal for low profile board stacking applications via the ability to pass through. All Mill-Max receptacles use a precision-machined brass housing with a press-fit beryllium copper “multi-finger” contact.
