Drawn wire PCB pins

The drawn wire pin technology allows you to design a component to your exact specifications without costly engineering charges. Along with specialized component capability, all PCB pins are also designed with automation in mind. Autosplice's automation technology is compatible with both through-hole and surface mount (SMT) process technologies. The Autosplice end-to-end PCB pins offer a single turnkey process solution to mixed technology manufacturing for custom contact pins and connectors by combining component design and automated insertion into a streamlined process.​​​​

Continuous reel pin packaging

Component Features

All drawn wire PCB pin products are supplied on continuous reel, notched at each end to your exact length specification. The notch creates a tapered lead-in, eliminating the potential for board damage during assembly and helping guide each pin into position. Additionally, end-to-end pins can be supplied with a variety of features designed to maximize component to board retention for both soldered or solderless connections in standard or custom pin diameter specifications.

Continuous Reel Pin Packaging

Packaged end-to-end on continuous reel, PCB pin components are ready for machine assembly at various levels of automation. The same component reel supplies pins to Semi-Automatic, Stand-Alone or In-Line Insertion systems. Additionally, the modular insertion tooling for all systems are interchangeable for future machine upgrades.​​

FEATURES

  • Continuous reeled, end-to-end packaging for automatic machine assembly
  • Wide range of user defined specifications
  • Thousands of configurations tooled
  • Pins available for SMT and through-hole application
  • Soldered and solderless pin types available

BENEFITS

DRAWN WIRE PIN TYPES

Solid Press-fit / Star Pin

Solid Press-fit / Star Pin

A connection formed when the sharp corners of a component displace material on insertion. In a typical PTH (plated-through hole) the copper underlayer is displaced or deformed.​

FEATURES

  • Stable Mechanical Soldered Connection
  • Strain relief soldered electrical interconnect
  • Requires tight tolerances of PCB insertion holes; Typically +/- .002" for pin sizes less than .025", PCB hole tolerance is +/- .001"
  • Recommended for use with single or double-sided PCB's and plastic substrates
Barbell Compliant Fit Pin

Barbell Compliant Fit Pin

A connection is formed when a spring loaded press-fit section collapses and complies with the plated through PCB holes. This interconnect forms a gas tight connection with a plated through PCB hole eliminating the need for soldering. Barbell is available in .025" square pins and is a direct solderless replacement for Industry standard .100" centers / header pins.

FEATURES

  • lnsertable into plated-through PCB holes only
  • PCB insertion hole tolerance of ±.003"
  • Solderless gas tight connection
  • Recommended for use with double sided and multilayer PCB' s
Conforming Fit Pin

Conforming Fit Pin

A connection that is formed when a spring loaded press-in section collapses on insertion, forming a reliable termination across a wide range of hole sizes and PCB materials.

FEATURES

  • Insertable into all PCB types or materials
  • Solder hole tolerance of ±.005"
  • Solderless hole tolerance of ±.003"
