MC-3000WHITE : White Nylon Short Needle Pin

MC-3000WHITE IC Tube End Stop Pin

MC-3000WHITE is a short white nylon needle pin for mechanical retention in a correctly prepared IC shipping tube. A correctly seated pin helps keep components from sliding out during handling, storage, and shipment.

Drawing and reference dimensions

MC-3000WHITE and MC-1000BLACK have different lengths and shank dimensions. Select by the exact pin and tube drawings when replacing a short pin. Open the dimensioned drawing.

Installation and removal

Insert the pin through the intended retention hole and check that its retention feature engages without distorting the tube. Keep the pin clear of device leads and fragile surfaces. Support the tube when removing the pin; review the MC-1000PP pin puller where the tool can engage beneath the pin head. Inspect the pin and hole before reuse.

Static control and partial loads

Nylon identifies the polymer, not an electrical rating. Confirm any ESD requirements for this exact part; white color does not establish static-control performance. A pin provides mechanical retention and does not by itself establish discharge shielding.

A pin can retain components while leaving room for movement inside the tube. For partial loads, select an ESD tube filler to suit the remaining usable space. Ask Malaster to review your tube and pin combination, or compare end stop pins.
