August 2009. Mill-Max announces the development of a unique, low-profile, compliant body socket receptacle capable of press-fitting in FR-4 mounting holes between .041” - .044” (1,04mm – 1,12mm) in diameter. Featuring the Mill-Max #10 contact clip rated at 2 amps, this new discrete receptacle is ideal for socketing devices with miniature .010” - .017” (0,25mm – 0,43mm) component leads. The sleek bullet-shaped body assists in centering the receptacle into mounting holes, and the shell features a wide-mouth countersink entry to guide delicate device leads inside. Manufactured using brass alloy on high-speed precision screw machines, this receptacle is gold- plated on both the shell and contact surfaces for optimal conductivity and highest quality. Mill-Max part 4993-0-15-15-10-27-10-0 is RoHS compliant. Sample: 5,000 pieces = $260.30/K; availability = 2 weeks. For more information, visit: www.mill-max.com/PR602.

July 2009. Fujitsu has introduced a vertical, surface-mount DDR2 (double data rate) DIMM (dual in-line memory module) socket connector with an enhanced contact design and 0.1mm lead coplanarity. The new 240-position, FCN-078J series card-edge socket features a patented, split-beam contact structure that improves module mating reliability. As a memory module is inserted into the socket, the unique twin-contact’s wiping action removes dust and flux residue and provides a robust connection between the module and socket even in high-vibration environments. Dual latching mechanisms ensure correct module retention and removal. The RoHS-compliant, FCN-078J uses Fujitsu’s own precision stamping and molding technology to achieve 0.1mm coplanarity before and after reflow. This low-coplanarity specification contributes to improved manufacturing throughput yields. Applications include blade servers, switches, routers, telecom racks, and test and measurement equipment to minimize occupied board space and improve air flow.

March 2009. Mill-Max expands its line of relay and oscillator sockets by introducing six new series with unique patterns, bringing our total to ten. Relay sockets accept devices with I/O pins on .100" grid. They make device field insertion and removal easy and convenient. Assembled with precision screw machine receptacles and packaged in high temperature thermoplastic insulators, Mill-Max relay sockets can be exposed to reflow temperatures. New series 110…10-00X (X = 2-5) relay sockets are available in 4, 6, 8, 14 and 16 pin configurations. Mill-Max relay sockets use MM#1001 receptacles assembled with a hi-rel, 4 finger #30 contact rated at 3 amps. This product is available in RoHS and non-RoHS plating configurations.

September 2008. Xmultiple has introduced its new X-Sealant Gel which can be used on any connector in harsh environments. This unique gel provides protection from corrosion or contact wear in normal or harsh environmental situations. The gel is available or tubes, or for volume users, larger containers. The gel resists temperatures to 750 degrees F and eliminates oxidation due to humidity or other environmental elements. For complete information, click here.

January 2008. Check out Fujitsu Components new connector web site!

You will notice several different changes:

1. We now have our search engine back via part number for connectors.

2. It will have a different "touch and feel", which we hope will help our potential customers to easily navigate the site.

3. We have updated the list of product offering, which promotes our standard "HOT" components (and is listed in terms of importance).

August 2007. Expanding its PCMCIA card connector offering, Fujitsu Components America has introduced a very low-profile connector for micro SD/TransFlash™ cards. With a mounted height of 1.6mm, it is the lowest profile connector currently available for micro SD cards.

Featuring Fujitsu’s precise die-and-molding technology, the FCN-560 series micro SD connector measures 15mm(D) x 14mm(W) x 1.6mm (H) and has a life cycle of ten thousand insertions/withdrawals.

The connector uses a proprietary push-push structure that provides positive tactile feedback during card insertion and withdrawal. A card drop protection mechanism prevents the card from falling out during pre-insertion and forced card extraction after it’s locked in. When ejected, the card travels 3.5mm from its locked position.

The micro SD card connector offers a rated voltage of 5 Vac/dc and current of 0.5 A. Contact resistance is 100 mohm (initial) and the dielectric withstand voltage is 500 Vac for one minute. The operating temperature range is -20°C to 70°C.

July 2007. Xmultiple's UltraJax is a whole new technology for RJ connectors. The UltraJax single port design offers a dual function RJ style connector which performs like two RJ45's, four RJ11's or both RJ45 and RJ12 or RJ11 combination depending on your application. Imagine having this functionality with half the space and cost. The UltraJax contact assemblies are housed with both eight contacts on top and eight on the bottom which makes the connector capable of performing multiple functions. The UltraJax can withstand a harsher environment and are more durable than the standard RJ connectors as the contacts are not exposed.

Mill-Max CCD sockets
April 2005. Mill-Max Mfg. Corp. offers a comprehensive range of solutions for socketing CCD & CMOS Imagers having leaded (pinned) packages.

Features: Thru-hole and surface mount sockets with pin spacings on 100”, 2mm, .070”, .050”, 1mm or 0.8mm grids. Thru-hole sockets available with solder preforms for intrusive reflow soldering.

Molded high temp. or machined FR-4 insulators. Receptacle carriers that eliminate the socket insulator for extremely low profile applications.

Pins are precision-machined copper alloy and incorporate a beryllium copper spring contact. Heat treated BeCu is the best electrical spring contact material to ensure security of the imager while maintaining its pluggability.

Available with RoHS compliant materials.

July 2004. Mill-Max's modular spring-loaded contacts are perfect for custom applications, and eight sizes of surface mount contacts are available from .137" to .295" profile. They can be arranged in arrays down to .100" grid. Contacts have a precision-machined piston, base and gold-plated components assuring a 100,000-min. cycle life.

Custom spring-loaded connectors are typically used as the base unit (battery/charger) interface for portable equipment such as mobile phones/radios, bar code readers, medical and test instruments. They can also be used as a rugged surface-to-surface connector between circuit boards. For more information, click here.

April 2004. Fujitsu Components America has expanded its high-speed copper microGiGaCNTM connector series by adding a vertical board-mount I/O socket. The new socket expands Fujitsu’s offering of standard, copper I/O and mid-plane interconnects that comply with InfiniBand®, 10G CX4 Ethernet, and 10G Fiber Channel requirements while meeting the needs of other high-speed applications. For distances less than 20m, the microGiGaCN series provides a low-cost alternative to optical fiber. Optimized for differential signal transmission of 3.125 Gbps and above over standard, FR-4 material, the new microGiGaCN FCN-260(D) vertical socket is available in 4x and 12x versions with latches for InfiniBand applications.

Mill-Max miniature medical interconnects

September 2002. Mill-Max offers two new pin/socket interconnect pairs for high-density grid applications such as the termination of medical cables. Both pin and receptacle are manufactured using precision turning technology. The receptacle shell is seamless and sturdy, and comes assembled with a hi-rel BeCu spring contact that makes excellent electrical and mechanical contact to the mating pin. Insertion/extraction forces are low permitting their use in high-density arrays. All components are gold-plated. Interconnect pairs are suitable for .050" and 2mm pitch grid applications. Both the male pins and female receptacles are terminated with back holes for the attachment of fine gage instrument wires.

Interconnect pair for .050" pitch applications:

Male Pin - Mill-Max part 4194-0-00-15-00-00-08-0
Female Receptacle - Mill-Max part 4195-0-19-15-04-14-10-0
