The 3M 2mm latch/eject header provides a robust system solution when mated with 3M IDC 1522 series sockets and 3M 2mm moulded assemblies series.
The header is suitable for a variety of applications, including blade servers, medical electronics, motor control boards, data collection devices and high performance audio components.
The latch/ejectors maintain a secure connection to the cable assembly during operation, yet allow for easy removal of the harness when needed.
3M uses roll pins to attach the latches instead of a snap-in system, designed to enable connectivity in high-vibration applications and during shipping.
The latch incorporates a unique design that resists breakage when ejecting the mating assembly, increasing system reliability.
The 3M family of 2mm latch/eject headers features 13 pin-count options from six to 50 positions, offering design flexibility across applications.
The connector bodies feature a cutout to accommodate mating connectors with centre bump polarisation and are made from PCT resins, allowing for high-temperature processing in lead-free environments up to 260C (in compliance with the JEDEC J-STD-020C standard).
The family offers RoHS compliant straight and right-angle plated pins, and through-hole tails for boards up to 31.75mm thickness.
A vertical surface-mount version is also available.
