3M 8500 Series Straight Through Hole PCB Socket, 16-Contact, 2 Row, 2.54 mm Pitch Solder 8516-4500PL

3M 8516-4500PL Straight Through Hole PCB Socket from the 8500 Series provides a high-quality electrical connection solution for printed circuit boards. It supports 16 female contacts arranged in 2 rows with a 2.54 mm pitch, designed specifically for through-hole solder mounting to ensure deep, robust connections. The board-to-board connector system facilitates connection without the need for cables, enhancing design compactness and reliability.

The housing is made of glass filled polyester, offering strength and UL94 V-0 flame-retardant properties to ensure safety and compliance in industrial environments. The copper contact material with nickel plating delivers excellent heat resistance and reliable electrical conductivity, reducing the risk of power-line blowouts. This socket is suitable for use across a broad temperature range from -55°C up to 105°C, making it apt for various industrial, manufacturing, and commercial electronics applications.

Its low-profile shrouded header reduces risks of short circuits and electromagnetic interference. The design incorporates center bump polarization and board retention features that maintain pin security and orientation during operation and handling.

This 3M PCB socket is ideal for critical applications such as automated timers, fuel regulators, satellite navigation devices, and drug metering equipment, where reliable and durable electronic connections are essential.
