SMT Test Points Meet RoHS Requirements

The RoHS-compliant TP-107 series surface-mount PCB test points rely on a proprietary process that consists of forming the flat-wire design in a spiral wrap at the mounting base. This effectively doubles the surface area of the mounting base to enable a rugged connection when adhered to the solder pad. As a result, a force in excess of 18 lbs. would be required to dislodge the component. The test points also employ a singular-loop design, which provides a positive and secure location for miniature spring-loaded clips, probes, and hooks. Other features include a height of 2.29 mm, current rating of 2A, operating temperature range from -55°C to 125°C, and a matte tin-over-nickel finish. Price is $0.078 each/1,000.
