3443-8 [3M]

3M PCB Connectors are designed for wave soldering in production environments, though hand soldering is acceptable. They feature locator plates (such as 3443-15, 3443-16, 3443-19, 3443-34, and 3443-8) that relieve solder contacts before or after soldering. Compatible with manual or pneumatic assembly presses, these connectors support various contact counts (10, 20, 26, 34, 40, 50) and include part numbers for different configurations. The assembly process involves positioning the connector on a locator plate, attaching a cover strip with alignment grooves to the cable, and using an assembly press to secure the connection.
