1mm pins -- through-hole or SMT?

1mm pins -- through-hole or SMT?

1mm pins -- through-hole or SMT?

(OP)
The company I work for will not be going to SMT until 2008, believe it or not.  In trying to track down a through-hole version of an SO-DIMM-200 connector, I found one at
http://www.adexelec.com/connectors.htm

called "CONN-DDR-SOD-200-STD" with the description "DDR SO DIMM, 200 pins, through hole".  However, I requested the data sheet, which you can view here:
http://www.michaelmalak.com/conn-ddr-sod-200-std.pdf

and it says that the pins are only 1mm long.  Since most PCBs are at least 1.6mm, how does this work?  Are these parts really intended for some kind of hybrid SMT/through-hole process whereby the short pins allow for reflow soldering?  Can these parts be used in a pure through-hole process?

RE: 1mm pins -- through-hole or SMT?

Pretty lame drawing to me.  I'm sorry but that doesn't look thru-hole to me at all.

I heard back from adexelec.com -- the part was mislabeled as through-hole.  It's really surface mount.
