Machine male pin headers, also known as machine pin headers or press-fit pin headers, are a type of electrical connector commonly used in electronic applications. They are designed to be mechanically pressed or inserted into plated-through holes on a printed circuit board (PCB) without the need for soldering.
Unlike traditional soldered male pin headers, machine pin headers have longer and sharper pins that are specifically designed for press-fit insertion. The pins are typically made of high-quality materials such as brass or phosphor bronze, which provide excellent conductivity and durability.
Machine male pin headers offer several advantages over soldered connectors. They eliminate the need for soldering, reducing assembly time and costs. They also provide a more reliable connection, as there is no risk of solder joints weakening or breaking due to thermal stress or mechanical strain. Additionally, machine pin headers allow for easier removal and replacement of components, making them suitable for applications that require frequent maintenance or upgrades.
