Board mount connectors are a low-profile solution to PCB connectors, and are designed connect near the edge of the board. They have advantages in creating reliable device connection with practical space-saving. They are used in the manufacturing of many electronic devices.

3M is a trusted name in connector and wiring solutions, providing high quality cables, connectors and accessories. From industrial computing to domestic applications, 3M provides the reliable and versatile product range you need.

Turn to this 3M socket when you want to connect two printed circuit boards (PCBs) without the need for a cable. The socket receives pins through the square terminals on one side and connects to a PCB with its own pin configuration on the other. The header on the socket is shrouded to protect it against the risk of short circuits and interference. The shrouding has a low-profile design to allow mating on either side.

• Pitch of 2.54mm for greater current isolation between pins• Through-hole mounting type ensures deep connection and high-quality electrical transmission• Copper contact material has strong heat resistance to prevent power-line blowouts• Board retention feature keeps the pins locked tightly to the circuit board for an extra-secure connection

• Automated timers• Fuel regulators• Satellite navigation devices• Drug metering equipment

Yes, the plastic housing material on this PCB socket has a UL94 V-0 (Underwriters Laboratories) flammability rating and has been tested to ensure it will stop burning after ten seconds in the event of fire.
