453-10-242-00-001000

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. part number 453-10-242-00-001000 is a vertical header connector designed for through-hole mounting. It features 42 positions with a pitch of 0.100 inches (2.54 mm). The connector utilizes male pin contacts with a circular shape and tin plating. It belongs to the 453 series and is currently in an active production status.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Vertical orientation design for standard board mounting
• Through-hole termination method for secure attachment
• Male pin contact configuration for mating compatibility

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General purpose interconnect applications
• Board-to-board connection systems
• Electronic assembly prototyping

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet for detailed mechanical dimensions and mating partner requirements. Confirm that the tin plating specification meets the environmental conditions of the intended application. Ensure the through-hole footprint on the target PCB aligns with the 2.54 mm pitch and 42-position layout defined by the manufacturer.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density vertical header is required for through-hole assembly. The 42-position count supports complex signal routing needs. Verify that the operating environment does not require corrosion-resistant coatings beyond standard tin, as gold-plated alternatives exist within the same series for harsher conditions.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component is part of the Mill-Max 453 series of rectangular connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations tailored for different density requirements. The 453-10-242 variant specifically addresses applications needing a substantial number of connections in a single row format.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 42-position, 2.54 mm pitch headers from Mill-Max or third-party manufacturers. Ensure replacement parts match the vertical orientation and through-hole termination style. Verify that the contact material and plating are equivalent to maintain electrical performance.
