3M 2500 Series 50 Way 2.54mm Shrouded PCB Header

The 3M 2500 series 50 Way Straight PCB Header is a robust and reliable interconnect solution for industrial applications. This low-profile header features a 0.100 x 0.100-inch pitch and a 2-row, 50-contact configuration, designed for through-hole mounting on boards with a thickness of 0.062 inches.

Engineered with a black glass-filled polyester (PCT) insulator, this header is capable of withstanding high temperatures, making it suitable for reflow soldering using paste-in-hole techniques. The centre slot polarisation ensures correct insertion, preventing misalignments and reducing assembly time. The contacts are made from copper alloy with gold plating, providing excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
