PCB Pin

Pin pitch selection depends on your PCB density and current requirements. 2.54mm is standard for low-density boards, 1.27mm for medium density, and 0.8-1.0mm for high-density assemblies. Smaller pitch allows more pins in less space but requires precise PCB manufacturing tolerances.

Through-hole pins require soldering, providing very strong mechanical connections ideal for high-reliability applications. Press-fit pins use compliant zones to grip the PCB hole, eliminating soldering for faster assembly and rework capability while maintaining excellent electrical performance.

Gold plating offers best corrosion resistance and lowest contact resistance, ideal for high-reliability and high-frequency applications. Tin is cost-effective and solder-friendly for standard applications. Nickel provides good corrosion protection at moderate cost. We can recommend based on your specific requirements.

Yes, our CNC machining capabilities allow complete customization of pin dimensions, tip geometry, plating specifications, and configuration layouts. We manufacture single pins, header assemblies, and complex multi-row configurations tailored to your PCB design and electrical requirements.

Current rating depends on pin diameter, material, and thermal management. Typical ratings range from 0.5A for micro pins (0.4-0.6mm) to 10A+ for larger power pins (2-3mm). Contact area, plating thickness, and application temperature also affect current capacity. We can calculate ratings for your specific design.

Standard pin configurations can ship based on international logistics requirements. Custom designs require engineering review and tooling preparation. Sample quantities are available for design validation before committing to production volumes. Contact us for specific timing based on your requirements.
