Distributor Heilind Electronics is stocking the 3M Four-Wall Header 2500 Series, a versatile .100″ × .100″ wire to board connector.
It is designed to deliver space-saving performance, reliable mating, and wide design flexibility in industrial, medical, test, and instrumentation applications.
Heilind now carries the complete series of 3M Four‑Wall Header 2500 Series products, including straight through‑hole, right‑angle, surface mount, multiple positions (6‑, 10‑, 14‑, 24‑, 36‑, up to 50‑pos), and options for dual or centre‑slot polarization, exposed solder tails, gold plating (10 µ″ or 30 µ″), and optional retainer clips for vibration resistance.
The compact .100″ × .100″ header maximizes PCB real estate, allowing more functionality in less space.
A high-temperature plastic insulator tolerates modern no-lead solder processes and IR reflow environments, supporting both through-hole and “paste‑in‑hole” techniques.
The connector offers versatile mounting options. It is available in right-angle versions with exposed solder tails for easier cleaning and lower repair costs, and straight surface‑mount versions for non-through-hole assembly.
An optional clip secures mating components in high-vibration environments for enhanced reliability.
Applications cover industrial control systems and factory automation – space-efficient and vibration-resistant headers provide rugged operation on PCBs embedded in machinery and test, measurement and laboratory equipment – accurate polarization and durability support precision connectors and interchangeability.
For medical electronics the connector brings compact layout, lead-free solder compatibility, and high reliability meet demanding medical standards.
For instrumentation the connector offers secure mating under shock and motion, plus multi-position flexibility, supports modular instrument design.
