3M™ Wire-to-Board System [0.050" Pitch]

Featuring 3M Socket 451 and 3M Header 452 Series

Reliable connections with more board space.

When PCB real estate is at a premium, use 3M socket 451 and 3M header 452 series together along with offerings from the 3M cable portfolio to save space in wire-to-board designs.

With electronics becoming more and more complex, a single printed circuit board is being designed to perform an increasing number of functions and operations. With high-density PCB designs fitting more components onto a board than ever before, PCB real estate is at a premium. 3M socket 451 and 3M header 452 series, used together, can help solve this problem almost anywhere signal-based control is a requirement.
