3M's barrel pin connectors or male connectors, in accordance with IEC 60603-13 (DIN 41651), have been used for many years as proven, reliable connectors on printed circuit boards. They are compact and space-saving. The plugs are available in a wide range of pin counts both in straight and angled versions. To prevent damage due to incorrect insertion of the mating connector, there is a centre coding in the insulator. There are also additional cut-outs for increased compatibility with other female connectors. For the best electrical connections, the contacts in the mating area are provided with a 76 µm thick gold coating. This minimises contact resistance and significantly reduces abrasion during mating. The high-temperature resistant housing made of glass fibre reinforced polyester is extremely stable and is suitable for 'lead-free' soldering with soldering temperatures of up to 260°C. Naturally, the products are UL listed.
