N3869-6002-RB

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The N3869-6002-RB is a vertical board-to-board header connector from the 3M 3000 Series. It features six male pins with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes a four-wall shield design and includes push-pull latches for secure mating. Constructed with glass-filled PCT insulation, it supports a maximum current of 1.75A and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The contacts are gold-plated for mating surfaces and tin-plated for solder tails.
