Crimp pins for SIL housings

Crimp pins designed for SIL housings are essential components in electronic connector systems, widely utilized in PCB connections, wire-to-board interfaces, and modular electronic assemblies. These precision-manufactured contact pins, constructed from high-conductivity copper alloys, feature specific design elements that enable secure mechanical retention in SIL connector housings while providing reliable electrical connections for various applications. The pins incorporate both conductor crimp and insulation crimp sections, along with specialized retention features for housing lock-in, ensuring stable connections in single-row connector configurations. Available in various standard sizes to accommodate wire gauges from AWG 18-28, these crimp pins interface with industry-standard SIL housings using common pitch spacing such as 2.54mm (0.1 inch), making them fundamental components in professional electronic assembly.
