3M 3000 Series Straight Through Hole Shrouded PCB Header 16 Contacts 2.54 mm Pitch 2 Row N3408-6202RB

The 3M N3408-6202RB is a 3000 Series shrouded PCB header designed for use in electronic assemblies requiring a reliable board-to-board or wire-to-board connection. It features 16 male copper alloy contacts arranged in two rows with a pitch of 2.54 mm, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB layouts.

This high-quality connector provides robust 4-wall shrouding to protect contacts from mechanical damage and contamination. Its housing is made from high temperature PCT thermoplastic allowing lead-free soldering processes up to 260°C, complying with JEDEC J-STD-020C standards.

Ejection latches incorporated in this series utilize roll pins to provide increased retention forces, making the connector suitable for high vibration environments. The latches also allow easy connector removal without damage to the contacts or board. Available versions supply ejector latches or allow separate purchase for customization.

The design includes features for polarization, including center bump cut-outs and slots to minimize misalignment during mating. Additionally, a military polarization key (3M part number N3518) can be employed to further secure correct orientation in critical applications.

Operating temperatures range from -55°C to 105°C with an operating voltage rating up to 25 volts. The pitch between rows and contacts is standardized at 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) allowing widespread compatibility. This through-hole mounted header is ideal for industrial, instrumentation, medical, consumer, communication, and other commercial electronic markets requiring durable, high performance interconnectivity.

Features 16 gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable electrical conductivity. 4-wall shrouding offers excellent contact protection and durability. Supports high temperature lead-free soldering with PCT housing material.

Roll pin ejector latches ensure secure connections in high vibration settings. Available polarization options minimize risk of assembly errors. Compatible with standard 2.54 mm pitch PCB layouts and through-hole mounting.

Wide operating temperature and voltage ranges suitable for diverse applications.

This 3M PCB header is an effective, versatile solution for demanding electronic device interconnections, supporting manufacturing quality and user serviceability. Explore more PCB Headers and connectors at EnvMart for your industrial and commercial electronics needs.
