100″ x 100″ Latch/Ejector Header 3 Wall – Straight & Right Angle with High Temp Option Datasheet

Category: 3M, Connectors, Electronics

Overview

This datasheet provides detailed information on the 3M 100″ x 100″ Latch/Ejector Header 3 Wall, available in both straight and right angle configurations, and with a high-temperature option. Designed for military applications, it includes features like polarization with a 3M s 3518 key, a center bump, low-profile optional ejector latches, and mounting holes for secure board attachment. The three-wall shroud design offers flexibility, and there are both solder and wrap tail options. Polarizing posts and a choice of rolled pin or snap-in latches are available, as well.

Physical Characteristics

The header is constructed from glass-filled polyester (PBT), or a high-temp glass-filled polyester (PCT) for the high-temperature option. It carries a UL 94V-O flammability rating and comes in gray or beige colors. Contacts are made of copper alloy with a nickel underplate and a gold wiping area for reliable conductivity. With options for both tin-lead solder tails and gold flash wrap tails, the product is marked with the 3M logo, part identification number, and an orientation triangle for easy identification.

Electrical Specifications

Electrically, the header is rated for a current of 1 A, with an insulation resistance greater than 1×10^9 ohms at 500 Vdc. It can withstand voltages up to 1000 Vrms at sea level, ensuring safe and reliable operation under typical usage conditions.

Environmental and Mechanical Data

Environmentally, the header operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C, meeting stringent requirements for a wide range of operating environments. Its environmental durability is further underscored by its UL File No. E68080 certification from 3M’s Electronic Products Division.

Product Variants and Options

A variety of product options are detailed, including headers with and without ejector latches, and with varying ejector/latch lengths to match specific 3M sockets with or without strain relief. Part numbers reflect these options, with a structured suffix system indicating the variant (-X2XX for straight headers, -XSXX for angles, etc.). Precise mechanical dimensions and configurations are provided for accurate integration into electronic systems.

Note:

Certain components, like the ejector, are crafted from nickel-plated zinc alloy for increased durability.
