100″ X .100″ Latch/Ejector Header Wall, Straight & Right Angle, High Temp Option

Category: 3M, Connectors, Electronics

Overview

The datasheet provides detailed information on the 100″ X .100″ Latch/Ejector Header Wall available in both straight and right-angle configurations, with high-temperature options suitable for demanding applications such as military use. It features an optional 3M’s 3518 polarizing key for correct mating and various mounting and latching options, ensuring secure connections and easy component removal.

Physical Properties

The header’s insulation is made from glass-filled polyester, either PBT or PCT for the high-temperature version, which meets the UL 94V-0 flammability standard. Two color options, gray and beige (High Temp Option), are available, and the header is marked with the 3M logo, Part Identification Number, and an orientation triangle for ease of identification and assembly. The contact material is a copper alloy, with nickel underplate plating and a gold wiping area for increased conductivity and corrosion resistance. The solder tails are coated with a 60/40 Tin Lead blend or have a gold flash standard for wrap tails.

Electrical Attributes

The datasheet specifies a current rating of 1 Ampere for the header. An insulation resistance greater than 1×109 Ω at 500 Vdc and a withstanding voltage of 1000 Vrms at sea level highlight the components’ capability to handle a high amount of electrical pressure without failure.

Environmental Adaptation

The headers can operate within a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C, making them suitable for an extensive array of environments. The high-temp version can withstand a maximum process temperature of 235°C for short periods, demonstrating its capacity to endure the stresses of high-temperature soldering processes.

The header includes the possibility to add ejector latches, mounting holes for board securing, optional polarizing posts, along with the choice of either rolled pin or snap-in latches. For a more robust reliability in harsh military environments, a center-bump polarization option is also provided.

Contact information, such as the UL File Number for product safety certification and the 3M division responsible for the product, is provided. Users seeking technical support, sales, or ordering information are directed to call a specified number or visit the 3M interconnects website.
