Vero Technologies, a leading manufacturer of test points and terminal pins in the PTH (plated through-hole) space, has a complementary range of SMT devices suitable for use with high-speed placement machines. Four industry-standard sized loop terminals, the 0603 (1,6 x 0,80 x 1,15 mm), the 0805 (2,0 x 1,25 x 1,45 mm) and the 1206 (3,2 x 1,60 x 2,0 mm) are initially available; all are compatible with industry-standard probes, clips and hooks.
Additional designs and sizes will follow during the coming months. All sizes are available in a nickel-plated stainless steel construction; the largest size is also available in a copper alloy, allowing customers to choose the material that best fits their production process.
Also introduced is a 2 mm high, 1 mm diameter, ball and socket terminal. It requires a minimum pad size of only 2,0 mm, enabling it to be placed by any pick-and-place machine in even the most congested board designs. The socket has less than 2 mΩ contact resistance, is rated at 3 A and offers gentle detachment. The matching 3,2 mm diameter socket has a ±30° angular movement before disconnection, giving good retention during use.
