CNC Tech, Box Header 3220-10-0100-00: Pick-and-Place?

CnC Tech offers a range of simple, reliable interconnect options for your assemblies, including box headers like 3220-10-0100-00. We frequently receive questions on products like this concerning whether the device has, or can be modified to have, pick-and-place pads. Does this connector have such pads?

This device does not ship with any pick-and-place, no. As explained in Pick and Place Pads, you can easily check for pick-and-place in the “Features” filter of our website. As well, through-hole headers such as 3220-10-0100-00 rarely feature pick-and-place options as suppliers expect these products to be assembled to a board during a different stage of PCB assembly than SMT headers like 3220-10-0300-00-TR, which are affixed to the board during the same reflow process as other SMT components.
