FAQ

 

Q: What is the standard coplanarity tolerance for SMT pin headers?

A: Our standard SMT pin headers maintain a coplanarity tolerance within 0.10mm to 0.15mm, ensuring reliable solder paste contact during automated surface mount reflow processes.

Q: Can your pin header housings withstand lead-free reflow soldering temperatures?

A: Yes. Housings are molded from high-temperature engineering thermoplastics such as LCP and PA6T, which are rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds without warping or blistering.

Q: What is the difference between flash gold and selective gold plating?

A: Gold flash provides a thin, cost-effective protective layer suitable for standard commercial applications. Selective gold plating concentrates a thicker layer (e.g., 5µ" to 15µ") strictly on the contact mating surface while leaving tails tin-plated, optimizing wear resistance and solderability while controlling costs.

Q: Do you supply pin headers with customized tail lengths or pin dimensions?

A: Yes. We offer full OEM customization for pin lengths, tail dimensions, insulator heights, and number of positions to fit your specific enclosure geometry.

Q: What packaging options are available for automated pick-and-place assembly?

A: Depending on the configuration, we supply pin headers in tubes, trays, or tape-and-reel packaging complete with polyimide or plastic pick-and-place suction caps for automated surface mounting.

Q: What is your standard minimum order quantity for non-standard pitch or custom configurations?

A: MOQs for custom configurations depend on tooling requirements and material setup, typically starting around 3,000 to 5,000 pieces per run. Standard catalog items feature flexible stock quantities.

Q: How do you prevent crooked or missing pins during manufacturing?

A: Our automated insertion machines use real-time optical sensors to verify pin presence and perpendicularity before the parts advance to final packaging, filtering out defective pieces early in production.
