Does anyone have a micrometer and the ability to measure the diameter of the shoulder of the machined pin on a Mill-Max socket? I'd be ever so grateful.
I'm using a 40-pin socket, Mill-Max part # 110-99-640-41-0010000.
I'd also be interested in the same 'shoulder' pin diameter on the relatively common Chinese 'round pin' sockets. Are the dimensions similar to the Mill-Max product.
Hi, Ron. Yes, I saw that but the "MINIMUM DIAMETER" is the part that scares me. I was hoping someone could actually Mic' it and give me "real" dimension. I guess I should probably ask Mill-Max...
I'm not sure, Mike. I'll have to write to Mill-Max and ask.
I'd like to make a small 0.8-mm thick PCB that solders onto the shoulder of the pins on the machined pin socket for a retro project I'm working on. It seems the plating on the through-hole is 0.0008" thick. So 0.052" + 0.0016" = 0.0536". I used a 0.055" hole size in the PCB below but I really really hate to blow $7 to get boards made if the hole size is wrong...
Ok, I ordered my first board and the 0.055" hole size worked out perfectly on the Mill-Max socket as well as the less expensive Chinese socket. Whew! There's a picture of an assembled unit in the drawing below...
