Mill-Max’s Organic Fibre Plug (OFP) solder barrier receptacles are discrete sockets for through-hole soldering into printed circuit boards. These open bottom receptacles are fitted with Organic Fibre Plugs to prevent contamination of the internal contact during the soldering process. When the device/mating lead is plugged into the receptacle, the OFP is knocked out, allowing the mating lead to pass through the fingers of the internal contact and make a reliable electrical connection. Like all Mill-Max OFP receptacles, the 4428 features an open bottom construction designed for pin pass-through requirements such as board-to-board or board to module interconnection.
The 4428 is also available packaged on tape & reel, part number 4428-0-67-15-04-14-10-0. Tape & reel packaging permits these through-hole components to be placed simultaneously with surface mount parts on pick-’n-place assembly lines – eliminating the need to hand place the receptacles in an additional manufacturing step.
Mill-Max 4428 features a gold plated, precision-machined brass shell assembled with our exclusive #04 gold plated beryllium copper contact clip with a 2 amp current rating.
