Description
Elpakco Pin Connector Socket Contact Size 20 Gold, Printed circuit pins are machined, individual pins and are used for various plug-in applications and board to board interconnection. They are commonly fastened to pc boards by being press-fit, swaged or soldered.
Pin receptacles are individual component lead sockets primarily used for the plugging and unplugging of components on pc boards. Pin receptacles are made by press-fitting a pre-tooled “multi-finger” contact into a precision machined shell. These receptacles will accept round pins ranging in diameter from .008″ to .102″ as well as square & rectangular component leads and are available in several shapes and sizes.
Connector pins became standard components in electronic circuit boards as early as the 20th century. Driven by demands for miniaturization and high-frequency signal transmission, their dimensions have shrunk to the millimeter scale and even the micrometer level.
