3M 3000 Series Straight Through Hole PCB Header, 20 Contact(s), 2.54mm Pitch, 2 Row(s), Shrouded

The 3M D3000 series PCB through hole mounting wire to board headers feature a double row of square pins in a 2.54 x 2.54 mm pitch. These D3000 series headers are fully shrouded to protect the contacts from damage and have mounting holes for a secure the connection to the PCB.

The ejection latches of these D3000 series PCB headers provide a secure connection to the mating connector and allow easy removal when needed. The design of the ejection latches features roll-pins for increased retention in high vibration applications and to prevent breakage during ejection. Ejection latches are either supplied with the header or require purchasing separately. These D3000 series shrouded PCB headers incorporate a cut-out in the housing to accommodate mating connectors with centre bump polarisation. Extra polarisation slots are also provided to enable quick connection and to minimise misalignment. Military polarisation can also be achieved by using a polarisation key (3M part number N3518).

Versions of these headers are available with housings made from high temperature PCT thermoplastic making them suitable for lead-free solder processing up to 260°C (JEDEC J-STD-020C). Available as right angle or vertical mounting and with various contact numbers these D3000 series headers offer a versatile solution for your wire to board requirements.

• 4 wall shrouding for contact protection
• Centre bump polarisation
• Military polarisation possible using N3518 polarising key

• Part numbers prefixed with 'N' have high temperature PCT housings

• Ejector latches are available separately

IDC connectors are suitable for use in applications in a wide range of markets. These markets include industrial, instrumentation, medical markets, consumer, communications and data.

3M are a reliable name in computing and electronic connection. Combined with RS Group's excellent customer service, 3M provides a range of specialist connectivity solutions for a variety of industries and applications.

This header from 3M attaches to your printed circuit board (PCB) so you can connect a device for power and data transmission. It consists of contact pins on a thermoplastic polyester (PCT) casing. The casing is a high-temperature insulator that can withstand the temperatures of up to +260°C that are common with lead-free soldering. The pins have a rolled design to help them stay fastened to the PCB, even when used in heavy-duty applications that experience constant vibration.

• Copper-alloy contact material with strong heat resistance to prevent blowouts• Gold contact plating to resist build-up of rust and corrosion• Can fit up to 20 contacts in two rows to provide a large amount electrical connections in a small space• Military polarisation possible using a polarisation key (not included)• Option to connect with either board-to-board or wire-to-board systems for versatile use

• LED signalling• Aerospace components• Single board computers• Control dashboards

Yes, this PCB header has four-wall shrouding, which helps to protect the contacts from rough handling, mismating and external contaminants.
