304-11-126-41-780000

Overview

The Mill-Max 304-11-126-41-780000 is a single-row IC socket strip featuring 26 positions with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. It utilizes through-hole mounting and accepts male pins. The contacts are gold-plated to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 3A current, this component supports operating temperatures from -55°C to +125°C. The housing is black, constructed from UL94 V-0 rated material, providing thermal stability and fire resistance for electronic assemblies requiring robust interconnect solutions.

Feature Summary

• Single-row configuration designed for direct board-to-board or device socketing applications
• Gold-plated contact surfaces provide corrosion resistance and low contact impedance
• Through-hole termination method ensures secure mechanical attachment to printed circuit boards
• High-temperature resistant insulation material maintains structural integrity under thermal stress

Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Automotive electronics module interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment signal routing
• Consumer appliance mainboard connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and pitch against design requirements before ordering. Confirm that the gold plating thickness meets the intended cycle life expectations. Ensure the through-hole dimensions align with the target PCB fabrication capabilities. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if environmental regulations apply to the final product assembly.

Selection Notes

Choose this model when a 26-position single-row interface is required with high durability. The 2.54mm pitch is standard for many legacy and modern systems. Consider the 3A rating for power distribution needs within the socket. Evaluate the temperature range against the operational environment of the host device to ensure long-term reliability.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Mill-Max 304 series of standard spring-contact sockets. The series offers various pin counts and configurations for different interconnect densities. These components are widely used in test fixtures, development boards, and permanent installations where repeated mating cycles or stable connections are necessary.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference tools may identify parts with similar pin counts and pitches. Verify that substitute components match the exact contact geometry and housing height. Ensure the replacement supports the same current rating and temperature specifications. Confirm that the mounting hole pattern is identical to avoid PCB redesign.
