Ultra-Low Profile SMT Test Point Series From Components Corp Now RoHS-Compliant

Denville, NJ (PRWEB) August 26, 2005

Components Corp., a world leader in the design and manufacture of circuit board hardware technology, today announced the availability of the 100% RoHS-compliant TP-108 Series of ultra-low profile test points. Offered to satisfy the space conservation requirements of high-density PCBs, especially those engineered for mounting high pin count packages, the surface mount devices boast a 0.060” profile, and a 0.070” x 0.135″ pad size. The TP-108 is notably constructed utilizing a proprietary technology developed expressly to yield long life and unrivaled durability. The technology includes the utilization of flat wire to facilitate a larger area for mounting the device to the board. This bigger area is a significant benefit as it helps minimize mechanical stress on the devices’ connections to the solder pad to enhance the durability and reliability of the connection for miniature probes, clips and j-hooks. Moreover, the test points’ loop configuration holds these devices securely, and eliminates the potential for slippage and puncture wounds frequently associated with posts and turrets.

 

Components Corp’s newest RoHS-compliant test point series is ideal for employment by fabricators of SMT printed circuit boards challenged by testing smaller, high-performance boards with greater functionality. Equally suitable for automatic or manual test, TP-108s offer the ability to easily and accurately identify faults both during and after manufacture. They may be confidently specified for use in a wide

 

array of applications ranging from consumer electronics, to medical and aerospace.

 

The test points are manufactured using a 0.010” x 0.040” phosphor bronze #510 spring-tempered flat wire alloy, and a 100% matte tin (0.0001 min.) over nickel (0.0001) underplate for reliable reflow solderability. They further feature a current rating of

 

2 A, and an operating temperature range of –55 to +125 degrees C. Designed for automatic placement by standard pick-and-place equipment, parts are supplied on 8 mm wide, 4 mm pitch, conductive polycarbonate tape that meets ANSI/EIA-481 standards. Test points are offered on 7” reels/1,000 pieces, or 13” reels/5,000 or 8,000 pieces. For more detailed specifications visit http://componentscorp.com/details/tp108.html.

 

Pricing for Components Corporation’s TP-108 Series of ultra-low profile, RoHS-compliant test points is $ 0.080 ea., in quantities of 1,000. Delivery is from stock to 4 weeks. Samples are available upon request.
