451-10-218-00-010000

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. part number 451-10-218-00-010000 is a vertical header connector designed for through-hole termination. It features 18 positions with a 2.54mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes male pin contacts with a circular shape and tin plating. It is constructed as a two-row assembly intended for board-to-board or cable-to-board interconnection applications requiring reliable signal transmission.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Vertical orientation for standard PCB mounting
• Through-hole solder termination method
• Tin-plated male pin contact configuration
• Two-row layout for increased density

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General electronic circuit board interconnections
• Signal routing in industrial control modules
• Prototype development and testing fixtures

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current catalog to ensure exact dimensional and material compliance. Confirm that the tin plating specification matches the environmental requirements of the target application. Cross-reference the 18-position count and 2.54mm pitch with the design footprint to prevent mechanical mismatch during assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, two-row header with through-hole pins is required. Ensure the mating connector accommodates the 0.100-inch pitch and compatible contact geometry. Consider the operating temperature range and current carrying capacity relative to the system's electrical load before finalizing the design integration.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Mill-Max 451 series of precision-machined interconnects. The series is characterized by high-reliability spring-loaded or fixed pin designs manufactured in the United States. The 451 series typically offers various position counts and row configurations to support diverse board-to-board connectivity needs.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 18-position count, 2.54mm pitch, vertical orientation, and through-hole termination style. Verify that any alternative maintains the same two-row arrangement and compatible contact plating to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability.
