Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status directly with Mill-Max or authorized distributors, as this item may be subject to factory special order constraints. Confirm specific packaging quantities and lead times prior to procurement. Ensure compatibility with target PCB drill sizes and plating specifications to maintain mechanical integrity during press-fit installation.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Selection Notes

Select this model when a single-row, 2.54mm pitch press-fit socket is required for IC carriers. Ensure the application environment supports the mechanical forces of press-fit termination. Verify that the target PCB layout accommodates the specific compliant tail geometry and hole dimensions recommended for the 0346 series to prevent layer stress.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Part Context

This component belongs to the Mill-Max 0346 series, which specializes in 2.54mm grid solderless press-fit interconnects.
