manufacturer number (Mill-Max): 855-22-010-10-001101 datasheet (2x5 pins)

enter image description here

Can I directly solder something to the bottom pins ? The manufacturer has some solutions but it requires expensiv tools which I don't want to buy. What could be a good solution ?

    \$\begingroup\$ When you say the bottom pins are you referring to the .016 DIA. side or the .019 DIA? As this is a spring-loaded connector you are only meant to solder to the .016 DIA side, and that’s just a basic through hole solder joint. \$\endgroup\$

Yes you can solder to the .016 DIA side of the connector no problem, this part is meant to be inserted into a Plated (Non-plated would work too) Through Hole PCB slot then soldered.

I'm not sure what the Manufacturer solution would be other than a development breakout PCB?

  • \$\begingroup\$ @vicatcu that could make sense, yeah the ones OP are talking about are much easier to deal with \$\endgroup\$

Actually you solder the bottom part to a PCB, through hole. The upper pins have springs and they are meant to make a non permanent contact by touching contact pads.
