H-PIN® Technology
 Plastronics developed a new series of
high performance, compliant contacts
to serve high volume applications that
require reliable electrical, mechanical,
and thermal interconnect with program
enabling manufacturability.
The H-PIN® is a stamped contact with probe pin performance providing a robust contact solution for burn-in, programming, and system level applications.
High Volume Manufacturing
Utilizing high volume BeCu stamping technology,
combined with a stainless steel spring for mechanical
travel, the H-PIN® has a working range up to 0.7mm with a flat spring rate, can be utilized up to 15GHz with -1.0dB loss, carry up to 4 amps of current and withstand temperatures up to 200°C.
Automation has been developed to assemble the contact pin onto a
stamped lead frame. The lead frame may then be singulated for hand
loading or left on the lead frame reel and placed into an automated
loading system.
H-PIN® Applications
 Sockets and Interconnects for high-volume applications, featuring
highly compliant contact elements with excellent mechanical, thermal, and electrical characteristics is here.
For the burn-in, programming, and
system-validation markets (or other
markets) that require 10,000+ insertions
and thousands of sockets, the options
are limited. The solution: The H-PIN®.
H-PIN® Features and Benefits
The H-PIN® is a stamped spring probe with the
mechanical, electrical, and thermal performance of
a spring probe and the ease of use and high volume manufacturability
of a stamped contact. The H-PIN® serves applications without the typical
compromises that are generally required when considering cost versus
performance.
