3M™ Four-Wall Header, 2500 Series is a .100” x .100” wire-to-board connector with a low-profile design that allows for design flexibility and space savings. A variety of versions and board mounting options makes the 3M header 2500 series excellent for a versatile range of applications. Its high-temperature insulator allows the header to be used for "no lead" soldering operations. A through-hole version is excellent for reflow soldering using "paste-in-hole" techniques. Center slot polarization makes insertion faster and helps prevent mis-insertions.
On most board mounting versions, 3M™ Four-Wall Header, 2500 Series features dual slot polarization which makes the header more broadly compatible with common polarization designs in the field. It is available in a right angle version with exposed solder tails for easier cleaning and lower repair costs. The header is also available in a straight surface mount version for non-through-hole designs. All versions are available gold plated in 30µ” or 10µ” for applications requiring added resistance to oxidation and corrosion. An optional retainer clip locks sockets in place, helping increase connection reliability in vibration-prone environments.
