451-10-220-00-004000

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Mill-Max 451-10-220-00-004000 is a standard spring-loaded pogo pin connector designed for board-to-board or cable-to-board applications. It features a straight body configuration with ten contact positions arranged in a single row. The component utilizes gold-plated beryllium copper contacts to ensure reliable electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance over repeated mating cycles. The housing is constructed from high-temperature thermoplastic material, providing mechanical stability and insulation. This specific model includes a .100 inch centerline pitch and a .250 inch overall length, suitable for PCB mounting via through-hole technology.
