KINKY PIN® Plated Through Hole (PTH) Connectors
Kinky Pins® were designed to specifically meet the demands of plated through-hole (PTH) technology introduced in printed circuit boards. They tend to be used with flexi-circuit termination and as solder terminals, connectors and in multi-way pin arrays.

They use a unique kinked retention mechanism which gives a fit in the PTH that is unsurpassed. The kinked leg provides a tight non-aggressive spring-loaded fit, while the straight leg ensures the pin is kept perpendicular to the PCB prior to soldering.
The slotted design induces wicking of the solder up into the kink and up to the flange. That ensures the solder joint is solid and free of air pockets, reducing the possibility of dry joints developing and increasing the life of the solder joint.
The Kinky Pin® range is comprehensive and our in-house high precision machining capabilities mean that we have the ability to manufacture bespoke versions on request. Standard finishes are tin lead and gold with other finishes available on request.
