346-99-153-41-013000

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Overview

The Mill-Max 346-99-153-41-013000 is an interconnect socket component belonging to the 0346 series. It features a single row of contacts with a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch, designed for through-hole press-fit installation. The contact tails are gold-plated with a thickness of 30.0 µin (0.76 µm), while the post contacts utilize tin-lead plating at 200.0 µin (5.08 µm). Rated for 3 A current and 100V/150V DC voltage, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The insulator material is polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyester with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.
