RoHS-compliant TP-107 series of low-profile, surface-mount PCB test points is engineered for fabricators of high-density SMT printed wiring boards who demand reliable, safe and durable testing during and after manufacture, as well as the capability to easily, quickly, and accurately identify faults.
The device’s bond to the PCB is the result of a unique forming process, which consists of forming the flat wire design in a spiral wrap at the mounting base, effectively doubling the surface area of the mounting base to enable a more rugged connection when adhered to the solder pad. Over 18 pounds of force would be required to dislodge the test point. Singular loop design provides a positive, secure location for miniature spring-loaded clips, probes and hooks.
Offer a low, 0.090” (2.29 mm) profile, current rating of 2A and an operating temperature of -55 to +125°C. Feature a matte tin (0.0001 min.) over nickel (0.0001) finish, and are manufactured using 0.015 x 0.040” phosphor bronze, spring-tempered flat wire alloy.
Designed for automatic insertion by pick-and-place equipment and reflow soldering, are supplied on 12-mm wide, 4-mm pitch, conductive polycarbonate tape that meets ANSI/EIA-481 standards. May be ordered on 7” reels/1,000 pieces or 13” reels/5,000 pieces.
