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, see stock number 827-3562 typically

Got lots of components and one printed circuit board? Simply solder on this PCB header from 3M and make electrical connections a breeze. It has 34 contacts over two rows and uses through-hole mounting to ensure a strong connection to the board. Disconnecting your components is hassle-free thanks to the header's ejection latches. Their roll-pin construction keeps the connector securely in place even when it's subjected to vibration.

• Gold-plated copper contacts offer excellent conductivity for effective signal transmission
• Shrouded to guard against electromagnetic interference
• Centre bump polarisation stops incorrect insertion, preventing damage to the component
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to +105°C makes it suitable for harsh industrial environments

• Data communications
• Medical facilities
• Industrial instrumentation

The unit's housing is made from tough glass-filled polyester which combines high rigidity with mechanical and fatigue strength. It's rated to UL 94V-0, meaning it stops burning in under 10 seconds.
