I'd like to know what is the name of the connectors in those devices. I'm trying to create a sensor for myself, and I think they are very practical when trying to add cables or clincher connectors.
The pins are 0.1" apart

1How far are the pins apart? Measure it, or include a size reference in the photo. I'm guessing it's 0.1" or 0.2". What is the diameter of the pins? – Neil_UK Oct 24 '22 at 10:57

The pins are 0.1 inches apart. – Michael Efraimidis Oct 24 '22 at 11:37

Can't say I've ever seen a name for these pins, probably because they wouldn't be a common distributor item. Suggest emailing someone whom makes them or a big connector manufacturer like https://www.mill-max.com. – rdtsc Oct 24 '22 at 12:10

These are sometimes called solder tabs, they are crimped and/or soldered. An example is 1-88997-2. Here is a page containing multiple options

Crimping may require an expensive tool, but if you plan on mass production, it may be a cheaper process than soldering. You might find a manufacturer to crimp and/or solder it for you.

Thank you for your input. I think those are called crimp Pin tins? I didn't know you could crimp them in a flexible pcb though. The crimping tool is expensive but not prohibitive. – Michael Efraimidis Oct 24 '22 at 14:14
