351-10-161-00-004000

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Mill-Max 351-10-161-00-004000 is a spring-loaded connector designed for board-to-board applications. It features a 2mm pitch and utilizes a push-pull mounting mechanism for secure attachment. The component consists of 16 positions arranged in a single row, with square-shaped contacts made from copper alloy. The housing is constructed from PBT polyester reinforced with glass fiber, rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. Contact plating is available in gold or tin variants to suit specific environmental requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Spring-loaded contact design ensures reliable electrical connection without soldering
• Push-pull mounting system allows for quick installation and removal
• Low-profile construction suitable for space-constrained electronic assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects in compact electronic devices
• Testing and programming fixtures requiring frequent connection cycles
• Space-limited industrial control modules

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating option (gold or tin) required for your application environment before ordering. Confirm that the push-pull mounting style aligns with your mechanical assembly constraints. Ensure the 2mm pitch specification matches the mating connector footprint. Check for any RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to your production standards.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-soldered, reusable board-to-board connection is necessary. The spring-loaded mechanism accommodates slight misalignments during mating. Consider the operating temperature range and current carrying capacity relative to the load requirements. Evaluate the mechanical retention force provided by the push-pull feature against vibration conditions.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Mill-Max low-profile series of spring-loaded connectors. These components are engineered for high-reliability applications where traditional soldered connections may be impractical due to size or maintenance needs. The series offers various pin counts and plating options to customize the interconnect solution for specific design parameters.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2mm pitch, 16-position count, and push-pull mounting style. Verify that alternative spring-loaded connectors provide equivalent current ratings and mechanical retention forces. Ensure the replacement part maintains compatibility with the mating header dimensions and overall height constraints.
