Precision Machined Connector Pins
Mill-Max Mfg. Corp. is the leading U.S. manufacturer of machined connector pins and receptacles. Our highly automated facility houses hundreds of production machines and a state-of-the-art plating department allowing us to ship in excess of 4 billion components annually.
Mill-Max connector pins are machined individual pins used for various plug-in applications and are functionally the dynamic building blocks within an interconnect system.
Benefits of Machined Pins:
- Precision high-speed turning of pins to tolerances of +/-.0005" for critical to function features
- Multi-Facet geometries for press-fit and surface mount applications
- Cost efficient brass alloy for production runs, other alloys available
- Seamless construction eliminates solder from entering the part
- Custom design options available in as little as 5 weeks.
Connector pins are commonly fastened to printed circuit boards or other housings by being press-fit, swaged (riveted), crimped, or soldered. PCB terminal pins serve not only as a conductive path for an electrical circuit, but provide strength to an assembly module as a mechanical interface. Mill-Max Mfg. Corp. has developed thousands of state-of-the-art "basic pin" designs, featuring pin barrel geometries for our customers who require outside-the-box solutions to their interconnect needs.

The complement to the connector pin is the pin receptacle, socket or plug. Pin receptacles are individual component lead sockets primarily used for the plugging and unplugging of components on pc boards. Pin receptacles are made by press-fitting a pre-tooled "multi-finger" contact into a precision machined shell. These receptacles will accept round pins ranging in diameter from .008" to .102" as well as square & rectangular component leads and are available without a tail, with a tail, surface mount or with Mill-Max's unique Organic Fibre Plug (OFP) for preventing solder from wicking into the hole.
