In applications where vertical board space is limited, Mill-Max offers low-profile headers and socket solutions to meet design requirements. Each header and socket is populated with a precision machined contact for high reliability. Mill-Max offers mating low-profile double-tail headers and sockets in 0.1” pin-to-pin spacing in both single- and double-row configurations. When combined, the total in-between board height is only 0.155”. For even lower profile applications, Mill-Max low-profile headers can be combined with carrier sockets. Carrier sockets are positioned with the PC board, allowing receptacles to be soldered in place. After soldering, the carrier is removed, leaving only the height of the receptacle shoulder above the board.
