Socket connectors are typically used to interconnect PC boards or points on a backplane through headers or pins on 0.100 in. x 0.100 in. spacing. They feature an advanced mechanical design which includes CW's patented offset-tine (Torq-Tite™) contact for positive gas-tight cable termination. The nose end of the contact provides a long, dual cantilever for a longer wiping action and improved self-cleaning of the mating pin. The extra length also results in a longer and more reliable working life.
