WEST WARWICK, RI, August 13, 2007 – Advanced Interconnections Corp. offers a wide variety of standard and custom terminals for use as Test Point Pins. The screw-machined pins offer superior durability over stamped-and-formed products while reducing assembly time and safety concerns. The Advanced design features a rounded terminal head, significantly reducing the potential for pinprick injuries to employees’ fingers during assembly and subsequent board handling, compared to traditional sharp-pointed .025 inch square-post test pins.
As with all products from Advanced, unique features and value-added services are available to help reduce overall system costs. Advanced’s Test Point Pins can be individually packaged in tape and reel pockets to facilitate automated insertion. To further reduce processing costs when used on surface mount PC boards, Test Pins with unique solder preforms are available. When used in an intrusive reflow application, the preform eliminates the need for wave or hand soldering, providing the strength of a thru-hole connection point without the need for additional board processing in SMT applications. The pins are precision-machined from Brass Copper Alloy and plated with either Matte Tin or Gold over Nickel for RoHS compliant applications or Tin/Lead over Nickel for RoHS exempt applications. Pricing varies by pin design and volume. Typical lead time is 6-8 weeks.
