Mill-Max has introduced a new line of high-reliability, 4 mm (.157”) pitch sockets and headers designed for power connections and rugged field applications. The connectors combine high-current capability, mechanical robustness, gold-plated pins and internal contacts, mounting tabs with optional threaded inserts, and multiple termination styles to support reliable performance in mission-critical environments.
As electronic systems demand higher power density and greater durability, designers need connectors that can handle elevated current, repeated mating cycles, and challenging operating environments. In energy and industrial systems, these connectors are used in motor drives, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and solar inverters. Datacom and computing systems rely on them for server backplanes and power supply units (PSUs). Automotive and transportation applications include EV battery management systems (BMS), motor controllers, and lighting modules.
The socket receptacles use Mill-Max #36 contacts rated at 16 amps (12,8 amps derated), with a maximum contact resistance of 10 milliohms to minimise temperature rise. They accept mating leads from .022” to .042” (.56 mm to 1,07 mm) in diameter and are rated for a minimum of 1000 cycles, supporting a range of mating connectors for power and durability requirements.
The headers feature .040” (1,02 mm) diameter mating leads to support high cycling, rough handling, and efficient power delivery.All connectors include mounting tabs available with or without threaded inserts for attachment to printed circuit boards, housings, and cable assemblies. Single- and double-row connectors give designers options for different board layouts and available space constraints.
Through-hole, solder-cup, and right-angle terminations provide interconnect options for a variety of applications and orientations. Solder cups accept up to 20 AWG wire. 1 Per IEC 60512-5-1, Current Carrying Capacity, evaluated at 30°C temperature rise.
