In the components business, and especially with connectors, price can often be the determining factor as to what product the manufacturer uses. However, there are products and applications for which the performance and quality standards are much higher because the cost and consequences of failure are much greater.

In these instances, because of its superior quality and performance, the design team should instead consider the improvements in reliability, precision and versatility that may be achieved by specifying a machined pin receptacle.

In this white paper we examine these considerations and highlight three reasons for considering a machined pin receptacle in your next design.
