MC-322-3RED IC Tube End Stop Plug
MC-322-3RED is a red end stop plug in the 300 mil low profile profile family. When correctly seated in a matched tube, it helps keep components from sliding out during storage, handling, and shipment.

The 300 Mil Low Profile designation identifies a catalog profile or package family. Use the current plug and tube drawings to establish the actual fit; the designation is not a complete dimensional specification.
Match the plug to your tube
Provide the tube part number or profile drawing when selecting MC-322-3RED. A similar package designation or plug color does not establish interchangeability with another closure.
Fit, insertion depth, and device clearance
- Compare the plug’s engagement geometry with the tube opening, including internal ribs, wall features, and tolerances.
- Allow for plug insertion depth when determining usable tube length. Keep the closure clear of leads and fragile device surfaces.
- Check seating, removal, and retention on the actual tube. Inspect for wear or damage before reuse.
Material and packaging selection
Confirm the material and electrical requirements for MC-322-3RED. Red color alone does not establish an antistatic, dissipative, or conductive classification. A fitted plug provides mechanical closure; it does not by itself establish ESD shielding.
For a partial device load, select an ESD tube filler to control the remaining space. Evaluate the tube, plug, filler, and outer packaging together.
For fit assistance, send the tube part number or profile drawing, device dimensions, quantity, and material requirements. Ask Malaster to review your plug selection, or compare end stop plugs.
