Pcb Locating Pins

While interference fits create tight assembly tolerances slip fits are just the opposite they can easily give you a self locating assembly making manufacturing easier when needing close alignment.

Pcb locating pins. Once set the knurls resist movement letting you align the workpiece with precision on a plate or table. The tab is located on the lower knife by placing the routed section of the panel on a set of locating pins and holding the pcb or letting it rest on the support table. We ve explored interference fits and all their design limitations but dowel pins have another application. Pogo pins consisting of a plunger or head barrel or body and a fully encapsulated fine spring to provide the spring force required to maintain positive contact.

Mouser offers inventory pricing datasheets for circuit board hardware pcb. Typically locating pins are used for controlled fine tolerance positioning of a work piece.

In stock and ready to ship. Carr lane precision locating pins can be used to locate a workpiece on a fixture or to align two pieces of a fixture. Supplier catalog go to website download datasheet. Carr lane produces a large assortment of locating pins including round diamond press fit and.

All have a high durability exceeding 10 000 mating cycles. One round fixture locating pin and one diamond pin are often used together to locate two holes without binding because the diamond pin is relieved to locate in only 1 axis. Circuit board hardware pcb are available at mouser electronics. For example a pallet that is moved along one axis where the drive mechanism is not accurate and stable enough to place it in a position sufficiently accurate to execute a particular process the use of locating pins may be the best solution.

When translation mechanisms are not stable or precise enough to place objects in position for a particular process locating and fixturing pins can ensure an accurate alignment. Also known as slip fit and lock screw locating pins they are held in place by a separate lock screw.
