3M 8500 Series Straight Through Hole PCB Socket, 40-Contact, 2 Row, 2.54 mm Pitch, Solder Termination 8540-4500PL

3M 8540-4500PL is a high-performance Straight Through Hole PCB Socket from the trusted 8500 Series, featuring 40 contacts arranged in 2 rows with a 2.54 mm pitch designed for solder termination applications.

The socket housing is made from flame retardant glass filled polyester, providing excellent electrical insulation and resilience under industrial conditions. Its female copper contacts are plated with gold and nickel to ensure consistent, low-resistance connections and protection against corrosion.

Rated for a maximum current of 12A and operating voltage up to 1kV, this PCB Socket is suitable for a variety of demanding industrial electronic circuits requiring secure and reliable board-to-board connections. The socket incorporates centre bump polarization, eliminating mating errors by ensuring it only connects with compatible headers.

With a stacking height of 10.8 mm and through-hole mount type for robust mechanical stability, this connector performs reliably across a temperature range from -55°C to 105°C.

Common industrial applications include use in industrial control centers, robotics systems, and energy/utilities sectors where dependable electrical connections are critical. The 8500 Series sockets are designed to mate with low-profile shrouded headers commonly used in board stacking assemblies such as mother/daughter boards.
