3M Socket 451 and 3M Header 452 Series

The 451 series ribbon cable wire-mount socket assembly from 3M™, offers a robust connector in a very small package. The fine pitch delivers high connection density in a very small space. Available friction latch configurations enable increased protection against accidental disconnect when using a box header. The optional strain-relief accessory provides additional security to help guard against damage when users pull on a terminated cable. The 452 series shrouded board-mount header is designed to maximize design flexibility while minimizing PCB footprint. The standard shrouded header is available with or without ejector latches. This innovative assembly method allows the addition of positive latch and ejection functionality with minimal size addition.
