Overview

The 3425-6600 is a 50-position rectangular receptacle connector from 3M's 3000 Series, designed for IDC ribbon cable termination. It features a 2.54mm (0.100 inch) pitch with a dual-row socket configuration and 30 micro-inches of gold plating in the contact area for high reliability. This connector is engineered for free-hanging in-line mounting and includes a polarizing key to ensure correct orientation with mating headers.

Why Choose This Part

This connector utilizes Insulation Displacement Contacts (IDC), allowing for rapid termination without stripping individual wires. The 30 micro-inch gold plating ensures low contact resistance and long-term durability in high-cycle or harsh environments. The inclusion of a polarizing key and feed-through capability simplifies assembly and prevents mis-mating in complex systems.

Applications

Backplane Interconnects
Connecting multiple PCBs in a rack system using high-density 50-conductor ribbon cables.
Industrial Control Systems
Distributing signals between control logic boards and I/O modules in factory automation equipment.
Legacy Computing Maintenance
Replacing or repairing 50-pin SCSI internal interfaces or similar wide-bus parallel connections.
Internal Signal Routing
Managing complex point-to-point wiring within an enclosure where 26-28 AWG ribbon cable is preferred.
