3M 8500 Series Straight Through Hole PCB Socket, 20-Contact, 2 Row, 2.54 mm Pitch Solder

This PCB (printed circuit board) socket from 3M creates a secure link between two PCBs. The double-sided mating design is a space-efficient way to make connections without the need for a cable assembly. There are square terminals on the socket's female connection side and 20 contact pins on its male side. Its connectors are arranged in two rows, allowing for a compact board design. This unit complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, so you can be sure it contains no more than trace amounts of any harmful substances.

• Through-hole mounting type allows for stable and deep pin connections • Flame-retardant UL 94V-0 (Underwriters Laboratories) rated polyester body stops burning after ten seconds• Copper contact material prevents circuit blowouts thanks to high heat resistance• Straight body orientation creates a clear connection that's easy for operators to check

• Vehicle hazard lights• Memory interface cards• Radio transmitters• Exit lights

This PCB socket is secured using soldering. The soldering alloy fuses the contacts to the PCB to keep them fixed tightly together and prevent dislodging.

From 3M, the8500 series 2.54 x 2.54mm polarized vertical PCB mount sockets feature centre bump polarization and PCB retention. These 8500 series 2.54mm pitch PCB socket connectors mate with low profile shrouded headers and are used in boardstacking applications such as mother/daughter board.

• Centerbump polarization

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.
