3M 2500 Series Straight Surface Mount PCB Header, 10 Contact(s), 2.54mm Pitch, 2 Row(s), Shrouded

From 3M, this HE10 SMT sockets feature a low profile, space saving design. The exposed solder tails (on right angle version) provide ease of cleaning and reduced repair costs.

High-temp insulation in accordance with JEDEC J-STD-020C requirements: withstands remelt temperatures and lead-free processes up to 260°C.
Packaged as slotted rolls. The connectors feature a pick-up hood in high-temp resistant material. The roll is composed of black ESD conductive material with a 24 mm pitch.
Contacts are visible, for inspection after soldering. The connector body does not mask the contacts, as when using straight through-hole connectors

These SMT conenctors feature center slot polarization that prevents mis-insertions and reduces insertion time. This makes them ideal for cost-effective and quick termination. These connectors are suitable for use in applications in a wide range of markets. These markets include industrial, instrumentation, medical markets, consumer, communications and data.

3M are a reliable name in computing and electronic connection. Combined with RS Components excellent customer service, 3M provides a range of specialist connectivity solutions for a variety of industries and applications.

UL No.: E68080, JEDEC J-STD-020C.

This compact header from 3M lets you establish multiple connections on a printed circuit board (PCB) using a single block. It's designed to be used for both wire-to-board and board-to-board connection systems. You can make up to 10 connections with the header, saving you space and simplifying your setup. Its contacts are made of copper alloy material, which is known for its superior conduction capabilities. This small device is an essential component in many electronics and computer applications.

• Glass-filled polyester housing material for insulation and corrosion resistance• Pitch of 2.54mm prevents accidental contact and enhances electrical safety• Gold contact plating to effectively prevent rust• Operating temperature range between -55°C and +105°C for use in harsh environments• Dual-slot polarisation allows for compatibility with various circuit designs

• Circuit design • Industrial R&D (research and development)• Robotics and automation

The mating cycle of a PCB header simply refers to its lifespan. During use, the constant connecting and disconnecting process (or 'mating') of any header will cause it to degrade over time, despite its robust construction.
