TreadHead™ & MiniFoot™ SMT Pins

Innovative New SMT Pins

Provide Automated Surface Mount Pin Assembly
Autosplice’s MiniFoot™ and TreadHead™
SMT pins provide an ultra-small footprint,
rigid solder joint and repeatable pin
to pad alignment, facilitating
automation. TreadHead SMT pins
have an unique tread pattern on the
bottom surface of the pin head,
which promotes out-gassing during
reflow, creating a vacuum under the
head pulling the pin tightly into
proper alignment with the PCB pad.
The MiniFoot pin design uses a "bow-
tie" shape foot that provides a stable
foundation, while promoting solder
wicking for an optimal solder fillet
concentrated around the base of the
pin. The result is consistent pin-to-pad
alignment and superior solder joint
pull-strength. The SMT pins are
packaged and reeled for automatic
placement on standard SMT platforms
using Autosplice’s AutoFeeder.

New SMT Pin Design provides an ultra-small footprint, stable solder joint and
consistent alignment.
