346-99-103-41-012000

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Overview

The Mill-Max 346-99-103-41-012000 is a single-row IC socket designed for press-fit termination. It features 3 contacts with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) grid spacing. The component utilizes compliant tail pins to mate with plated through-holes without stressing multilayer board inner layers. Contact materials are typically beryllium copper, and the housing is constructed from polyethylene.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Feature Summary

• Press-fit termination method eliminates soldering requirements
• Compliant tail pins accommodate plated through-hole variations
• Single row configuration for standard IC footprint integration

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Applications

• Single in-line package (SIP) socketing
• Multilayer printed circuit board interconnects
• High-reliability electronic assemblies

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as datasheets may indicate non-compliance due to tin/lead contact finishes. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required pin length and contact finish specifications for your assembly process.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Selection Notes

Select this part when a press-fit solution is preferred over soldered sockets for high-volume or reworkable applications. Ensure the target PCB has plated through-holes sized correctly for the 0.100-inch grid and compliant pin diameter to ensure proper mechanical retention.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Part Context

This component belongs to the Mill-Max Series 346, which specializes in .100 inch grid solderless press-fit single row strips. These sockets are engineered for durability and repeated mating cycles, serving as a robust alternative to traditional soldered IC sockets in industrial environments.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 346-99-101-41-012000 (1 position) and 346-99-102-41-012000 (2 positions). Verify that any replacement maintains the identical 0.100-inch grid and press-fit termination style.
