MC-0550WHITE : White Long Bulb Pin

MC-0550WHITE IC Tube End Stop Pin

MC-0550WHITE is a white long bulb pin for tube profiles that use this extended shank and end-retention shape. A correctly seated pin helps keep components from sliding out during handling, storage, and shipment.

Drawing and reference dimensions

The 0.550 in. dimension is the straight shank length shown on the drawing; overall length is 0.759 in. Allow for the complete retention feature when checking the tube and device clearance. 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

Confirm the material grade for your application. 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.
