Discrete Insulated Pins and Receptacles

Mill-Max announces additions to its selection of insulated terminals. Six popular Mill-Max pins and receptacles have been fitted with cylindrical insulating sleeves for electrical isolation applications. These offerings include three header pins, two receptacles, and one solder cup pin to suit a variety of uses.

Insulated terminals are used to electrically isolate single-pin interconnects from surrounding conductive components or elements in an assembly. The plastic sleeve provides insulation of the terminal for such applications where the pin/receptacle must pass through a conductive housing without coming in contact with it or where a pin/receptacle, installed on a board, needs to be protected from nearby conductive components. The sleeve also facilities the handling of small, individual terminals and can provide mechanical support for pins mounted on or through printed circuit boards.
