3M 5100 Series Right Angle Through Hole PCB Socket, 20-Contact, 2 Row, 2.54 mm Pitch Solder

Want to tidy up the cable assemblies in your PCB (printed circuit board) connections? Turn to this PCB socket from 3M. It acts as an interface between two PCBs, with its female side connecting to a PCB header and its male side connecting to the second PCB. Its shrouded heads insulate the 20 pins from short-circuiting, while the low profile design provides enough room for simple and accurate installation. You'll find sockets like this in common domestic appliances, as well as in industrial computer systems.

• Right-angle body orientation allows for installation in awkward areas or tight cabinets• Can withstand temperatures from -55°C to +105°C for use in demanding environments• Glass-filled polyester (PBT) housing material protects against impact and abrasion damage• Centre-bump polarisation keeps the PCB clean when connecting the contacts

• X-ray machines• Ultrasound equipment• Flex connectors• Marine navigation systems

This header conforms to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, so you can be sure it contains only negligible amounts of harmful materials.

From 3M, the 5100 series 2.54 x 2.54mm polarized right angle PCB mount sockets feature centre bump polarization. These 5100 series 2.54mm pitch PCB socket connectors mate with low profile shrouded headers and are used in boardstacking applications such as mother/daughter board and allow two PCBs to be mounted in tandem using a 90° socket and 90° header.

• 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.
