Spring pin mounts parallel to the pc board

0967 low-profile surface-mount spring pin
Mill-Max's 0967 is a low-profile, horizontal, surface-mount spring pin designed for edge-board interface applications, including both board-to-board or device-to-board.
While most spring pins are designed to mount vertically on a pc board, the 0967 mounts parallel to the pc board so that the plunger travel is horizontal to the board surface.
The above-board height of 2.54mm provides a low profile for tight packaging requirements.
Typically mounted on the edge of the pc board, it can be mated with a board running perpendicular to it, or parallel pc boards can be daisy-chained together by using the Mill-Max 7937 horizontal SMT target pin and 0967 on opposing boards.
The 7937 provides an area approximately 2.54mm high by 3.94mm long for the plunger of the 0967 to mate with, which is ample to ensure a reliable interconnect.
