Innovative Surface Mountable Products from Keystone

Keyed SMT Test Points  

 

Identification of test points in high density PCB packages is the key to greater PCB production testing and service troubleshooting. Keystone Electronics has developed a series of surface mountable Test Points with a color keyed insulator base for visibility and quick identification. The wire loop provides convenient access points for J-hooks and test probes.

 

These Test Points are manufactured from Phosphor Bronze with a Silver Plating allowing for superior soldering and low electrical resistance. The colored identification base is manufactured from high temperature LCP suitable for SMT reflow soldering operations.

Packaging is on tape and reel per ANSI/EIA-481 standard for compatibility with pick and place assembly systems. The variety of colored bases available consist of 10 colors: RedBlackWhiteYellowOrangeBrownGreenBluePurpleand Gray.

High Current "True" Zero ohm SMT Jumpers 

   

High current "True" Zero ohm SMT Jumpers are designed to replace "Zero" ohm resistors without changing board designs or layouts. 

 

Manufactured from Copper with Silver Plating, these jumpers provide an identical footprint as a zero ohm resistor. Jumpers provide a low resistance circuit linkage making them ideal for high-density, high current PCB packages on power and aluminum back planes. These jumpers accommodate all PCB soldering applications including reflow.

 

Four resistor chip sizes are offered to simplify designs and footprint compatibility:

0402 chip size, Cat. #5112

0603 chip size, Cat. #5110

0805 chip size, Cat. #5106 

1206 chip size, Cat. #5108

 

Packaging is on tape and reel per ANSI/EIA-481 standard for compatibility with vacuum pick and place assembly systems.
