3M™ Latch/Eject Header, 2 mm, Vertical,
Surfacemount

3M now offers a 2 mm pitch latch/eject header for mating with other IDC
connectors. The latch/ejectors maintain a secure connection to the cable assembly
during operation, but also allow for easy removal of the harness when needed. To
increase the reliability of the system, 3M uses roll pins to attach the latches instead
of a snap-in system. This feature helps increase the retention of the latches to the
body in high vibration applications and during shipping through the supply chain to

your customer. The latch and body design of this header reduces the probability of
the latches breaking when ejecting the mating assembly.

6-50 positions, allowing for design exibility across applications. The connector
bodies feature a cutout to accommodate mating connectors with center bump
polarization and are made from PCT resins, allowing for high temperature
processing in lead-free environments up to 260ºC (JEDEC J-STD-020C). The
family offers RoHS compliant* straight and right angle plated through-hole tails for
boards up to .125” thickness. A vertical surfacemount tail option is also available in
tray or tape and reel packaging with a vacuum cap.
