Mill-Max (Oyster Bay, NY) has announced a new option for automated assembly of spring-loaded pins with the introduction of removable pick & place caps. The new 806 series features standard spring pins with removable caps that keep parts centered in the carrier tape pocket, present a large round target surface for vacuum pick up, and are easily removed after the soldering process. Additional features of the 806-22-001-30-0XX191 series include:

  • Applicability when production volume necessitates automatic assembly yet an insulator is not required or feasible.
  • Removable caps that attach to the body of the spring pin, slipping over without compressing or damaging the plunger. 
  • A four-finger design that makes the cap easy to remove. 
  • A closed flat top that ensures reliable vacuum pick up every time.
  • Availability in 9 surface mount options using standard Mill-Max spring pins 0900-X and 0907-X. 
  • 4 through-hole style spring pins. 
  • Parts packaged per EIA-481 standards on 13” reels with the surface mount style on 16 mm wide tape and through-hole on 24 mm wide.
  • Removable caps made of high temperature nylon 46 that are suitable for most soldering processes.
  • Precision-machined external components and high reliability internal springs. 
  • Gold-plated components and springs that ensure conductivity, corrosion resistance and durability.
  • Spring-loaded pins with a current rating of 2 A continuous use (3 A max).
