The part numbers are: 1508-0-57-15-00-00-03-0 for tape and reel packaging and 1508-0-00-15-00-00-03-0 for bulk. The 1508 pin features a large base for stability and for making a secure solder connection to the PCB. The tail/pin diameter is .018" (.46 mm) making it suitable for plugging into a broad selection of standard Mill-Max receptacles or for attaching a test clip.
