During PCB welding and equipment assembly, it can realize precise positioning and automatic docking, effectively avoid pin deviation and welding offset problems. It is more suitable for automated assembly and mass production, greatly improving production efficiency and product yield, and reducing manual assembly errors and rework costs.

2. U-Shaped Right-Angle Structure, Space-Saving & Flexible

Accurate positioning during insertion without offset The U-shaped square hole clamps PCB pads tightly. The straight 180° vertical structure inserts perpendicularly into PCB holes. It stays well-limited during manual insertion or wave soldering automatic plug-in, free of tilting or floating pins.

High compatibility with automated production lines It adopts standard 2.54mm pitch for wide general use, matching automatic pin insertion machines and assembly line stations. The double-layer plastic structure enables stable gripping by manipulators without slipping, greatly boosting plug-in efficiency and cutting manual assembly labor hours.

Easy soldering, compatible with both wave soldering and manual soldering Vertical through-hole pins fully penetrate PCBs for complete solder coverage on pads. The U-shaped opening expands solder wetting area, ensuring full solder adhesion and lowering the defect rate of cold solder joints and virtual soldering.
