3M 20-Way IDC Connector Female for Cable, 2 Row, Gold over Nickel Contacts, 1A Current, 1000V AC, 2.54mm Pitch 3421-6620

3M 3421-6620 20-Way IDC Connector Female for Cable, 2 Row, featuring gold over nickel plated copper contacts, supports 1A current and operates at 1000V AC. This right angle IDC connector offers a robust and efficient solution for cable-to-PCB connections within industrial and telecommunications applications.

The connector uses a compact 2.54 mm pitch, enabling it to fit seamlessly onto dense printed circuit boards. Its shrouded design and durable polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing ensure excellent mechanical stability and wear resistance, making it suitable for repeated assembly and disassembly.

The 3M 3000 series IDC connectors eliminate the need for stripping cable insulation by piercing through it, thereby simplifying installation and improving manufacturing efficiency. The dual-slot military polarization prevents misaligned connections, enhancing reliability and durability.

With a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to 105°C, this connector performs reliably under extreme environmental conditions. The gold over nickel plated copper contacts provide superior electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance.

This connector accommodates both solid and stranded conductors with cross-sections from 0.08 mm² to 0.14 mm², designed for 26 AWG and 28 AWG cables. Its positive locking metal 'J' clips secure the connector cover and facilitate high-yield terminations, making it an excellent choice for telecommunications, electronics manufacturing, and PCB system integration.

The connector's compact 2.54 mm pitch slots easily onto busy PCBs. Durable PBT housing ensures mechanical robustness and wear resistance. Gold over nickel contact plating enhances electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Dual-slot polarization prevents misalignment during mating. Supports solid and stranded conductors with 0.08 to 0.14 mm² cross-section. Operating temperature range from -55°C to 105°C allows use in harsh environments. Right angle cable mount design optimizes PCB wire routing.

Positive locking metal 'J' clips secure the cover for reliable terminations. Eliminates need for insulation stripping, streamlining assembly processes.
