The 040/30P/KP2/L SILVER is a Kinked Retention Plated Through Hole Connector with solder posts. Made of copper with silver plated finish. Kinky pin is designed specifically to meet the demands of plated through hole (PTH) technology introduced in printed circuit boards. They tend to be used with flexicircuit terminations and as solder terminals, connectors and in multiway 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 whilst the straight leg ensures the pin is kept perpendicular to the PCB prior to soldering.
