3M 2500 Series 2.54 x 2.54mm Low Profile Four-Wall Shrouded PCB Headers
From 3M, the 2500 series 2.54 x 2.54mm four-wall shrouded PCB headers with a low profile, space saving design are available in SMT, through hole, straight and right angle PCB mounting configurations.
These 2.54mm 2500 series PCB headers have centre slot polarization to facilitate accurate insertion and dual slot polarization making the connector compatible with other competitive polarization designs. Versions of these 2500 series PCB header connectors are available with a high temperature (260°C) black PCT housing (part numbers pre-fixed with 'N') which are suitable for 'no lead' soldering operations, through hole PCB headers with high temperature housings are suitable for 'paste in hole' reflow soldering techniques.
• Part numbers (N)25xx-xx02 are for use with a 1.57mm PCB thickness
• Part numbers (N)25xx-xx03 are for use with a 2.39 to 3.18mm PCB thickness
• A latch is available for use with these headers see stock number 192-7782
• Socket retainer clips are also available for these shrouded PCB headers, see stock number 323-8220 typically

Features and Benefits
• Low profile, space saving design
• Center slot polarization prevents mis-insertions and reduces insertion time
• Dual slot polarization means broader compatibility with competitive polarization designs (not 6, 8 or 10 pos.)
• Optional retainer clip for locking sockets in place and increasing connection reliability in vibration prone environments
