Surface mount pin receptacles are discrete sockets that permit lead components to be plugged into SMT circuits. They are supplied on tape per EIA-481 for assembly with industry standard pick-and-place equipment and are made by press-fitting a stamped beryllium copper spring contact into a precision-machined housing. Mill-Max offers 35 sizes to accept pins ranging in diameter from .012 to .102 inches, as well as square and rectangular component leads.
