It is available in wire-to-board and wire-to-wire configurations in 2-20 circuits for single row and 10-40 circuits for dual row.
Mini Mill is built around a common single row IDT receptacle that provides cost effective mass termination of discrete wire.
The housing is designed for easy handling and has guide slots to facilitate wire placement.
Side ribs provide polarisation and lock into a clip for dual row configurations.
Header options include single or dual row, SMT or through hole and straight or right angle.
The through-hole versions feature a space saving staggered pitch PCB layout and an inner positive lock that provides secure mating and latch protection.
Other features of the through-hole style include a raised platform to protect against flux wicking and kinked outer tails for PCB retention.
SMT headers feature extended outer sidewalls to protect SMT tails and polarised inner sidewalls to facilitate mating.
A friction lock feature includes an audible click to confirm mating.
For panel mount applications, Mini Mill includes both single- and dual-row panel pin adapters that accept the IDT housing on each side.
Both versions include spring type locking ears for panel retention and inner positive locks for easy mating and latch protection.
