Polarized boardmount socket 3M 8526-4500PL with .100 by .100 contact spacing and secure solder tail design
Product Overview
The 3M Polarized Boardmount Socket, 8500 Series, offers reliable interconnect solutions with .100" x .100" centerbump polarization. Designed for mating with low-profile shrouded headers, these sockets feature straight solder tails for secure board retention during flow soldering. Key advantages include UL 94V-0 rated polyester bodies, optional keying plugs for enhanced polarization, and clear part number marking on each piece. These sockets are suitable for applications requiring robust and polarized board-to-wire connections.
