Low-force high-current connector assemblies for power and signal applications introduced by Mill-Max
OYSTER BAY, N.Y. – Mill-Max Manufacturing Co. in Oyster Bay, N.Y., is introducing the #36 contact connectors designed to accept a wide range of lead sizes, while providing low insertion force and high current carrying capacity in power and signal connections.
The receptacles assembled with the #36 contact are produced in a variety of termination styles to address the many interconnect requirements typically found in electronic assemblies such as circuit board jacks for power connections.
The Mill-Max #36 power and signal contact connectors accept lead diameters of 0.022 to 0.042 inches, with initial insertion force averages ranging from 180 to 560 grams.
The relatively low forces for these contacts make for easy mating and de-mating of multi-pin connections. The wide acceptance range enables them to be used across applications for power and signal connections.
These receptacles exhibit 4 to 10 milliohms of contact resistance, and 16 amps max of current-carrying capacity, 12.8 amps de-rated for communications equipment, pumps, fans, DC motors, and industrial-control equipment.
Mill-Max is offering eight receptacles assembled with the #36 contact with termination styles including through- hole solder mount, press-fit for plated through holes, surface mount, and wire termination. All except the 0479 fibre plug style have gold plating on the shell and 30 micro inches gold plating on the contact. The 0479 has a matte tin shell finish.
