Mill-Max spring-loaded connectors are ideal for internal or external battery connections, charging and docking stations, cable terminations and board-to-board interconnections. Also, some applications make aligning a traditional socket and header difficult due to restricted visibility inherent in the design. These are referred to as “blind mates.” Damage can be done to a socket or header if not aligned properly when mating. A spring pin connector is an ideal solution for this type of situation as the connection is being made between the spring pin and the pad on a mating board, thereby offering a wider “target area” while eliminating concerns about damaging components. Spring pins are also ideal for use as test points and in test board equipment.
