800-10-042-10-004000

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Mill-Max 800-10-042-10-004000 is a vertical pin header connector featuring 42 positions with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. It utilizes a single row of male pins designed for board-to-board interconnection. The component employs a push-pull locking mechanism and supports through-hole solder termination. Constructed with brass alloy contacts, it offers reliable electrical performance for high-density applications requiring secure mechanical retention.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Features a sturdy 0.102-inch diameter lead design for enhanced mechanical stability
• Incorporates a low-profile 0.180-inch thick insulator to minimize overall height
• Utilizes a push-pull locking system for secure board attachment

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• High-density board-to-board interconnections
• Industrial control systems requiring robust headers
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating and material composition against the official datasheet before integration. Confirm that the 42-position configuration matches the target PCB footprint. Ensure compatibility with the intended mating receptacle or cable assembly. Check for any recent product change notices affecting manufacturing specifications.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model when a 42-pin vertical header with a 2.54mm pitch is required. The push-pull feature distinguishes it from standard press-fit alternatives. Consider the low-profile insulator thickness if vertical space is constrained. Validate that the single-row layout aligns with the circuit board design requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Mill-Max 800 series, which specializes in single and double row interconnects. The series is characterized by its use of sturdy leads and low-profile insulators. It serves as a standard solution for rigid board connections where mechanical security via a push-pull mechanism is prioritized over simple insertion.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 42-position 2.54mm pitch headers from Mill-Max within the 800 series. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same push-pull locking mechanism and low-profile dimensions to ensure mechanical compatibility.
