RoHS Compliant | Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) is a European Union (EU) directive that requires all manufacturers of electronic and electrical equipment sold in Europe to demonstrate that their products contain only minimal levels of the following hazardous substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl and polybrominated diphenyl ether. RoHS will become effective on July 1, 2006. | ||

Contact Plating | The contacts of a connector are conductive element in a termination assembly that mates with a corresponding element for the purpose of transferring electrical energy. Plating is an overlay of a thin metallic components to improve conductivity, provide for easy soldering, or prevent rusting or corrosion. | ||
Your choices are... | |||
None | The connector contacts are not plated. | ||
Copper Plating | Connector is available with gold-plated contacts copper. | ||
Gold Plating | Connector is available with gold-plated contacts, for a more reliable electrical connection. Gold-plated contacts are more expensive than silver-plated or copper contacts, and are generally offered as an upgraded connector. | ||
Nickel Plating | The connector is available with nickel-plated contacts. | ||
Silver Plating | Connector is available with silver-plated contacts. | ||
Other | Other unlisted, specialty, or proprietary contact plating. | ||

Contact / Pin Type | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Low Profile Pins | Standard, low height, pins. | ||
Solder Tail Pins | Pins build to allow for easy soldering or for other applications. | ||
Wire Wrap Pins | Electrical connections are made using a solderless wrap. Connection is achieved by wrapping a solid stripped or unstripped wire with a special tool onto a wrap post. A technique of connecting stripped solid wire to a terminal post containing a series of sharp edges by winding the wire around the terminal. | ||
Straight Pins | The pins terminate in both sides of the socket or receptacle. | ||
Spring Loaded | Spring contact probes are telescopic electromechanical interconnects. They typically consist of one or more contact members (often referred to as the "plunger(s)") and a helical coil spring, housed within a conductive tube (normally termed a "barrel"). | ||
Other | Other unlisted contact types. | ||

Mounting | |||
Your choices are... | |||
SMT | Surface Mount Technology (SMT) sockets are soldered to the PC board traces. Unlike PC mount sockets, surface mount sockets do not require holes drilled in the PC board. | ||
Through-hole | In Through Hole Technology (THT), components are mounted on printed circuit boards by inserting component leads through holes in the board and then soldering. | ||
Press-fit | With press-fit technology the pins of the connectors are not soldered into the PCB (thus avoiding heat stress) but rather are 'pushed (pressed)' into the PCB. | ||
Swage | Swaging is a forming technique in which the metal is deformed into its final shape by high pressure. | ||
Solder | The pins or receptacles are soldered to the pc board. | ||
Other | Other unlisted socket style. | ||

Features | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Solderless | These sockets can be mounted by compression. | ||
Machined Pins | The pins of the package are machined for better contact. Machining is a manufacturing process whereby a rapidly turning solid metal rod is cut to precise tolerances. | ||
Clamshell Socket | The socket has a cover that can be opened and closed. It is also known as a flip-top socket. | ||
End Stackable | The ability for sockets to be mounted end-to-end while maintaining grid or spacing. | ||
Other | Other unlisted or proprietary styles. | ||
