MDR is the I/O platform of choice for many equipment makers. 3M offers boardmount and wiremount connectors, as well as a range of shell kits and accessories to facilitate and enhance use. With pin counts from 14 to 100, through-hole, surface mount, and press fit mounting styles, many with multiple connector orientations, the 3M™ MDR boardmount product line offers engineers great flexibility when designing I/O interfaces. On the wiremount side, MDR comes in both IDC and solder termination versions. Note that in the MDR system, the wiremount or cable connector is generally a plug (male). To support the wiremount products, 3M offers a range of EMI junction shells in a variety of materials and cable exit angles, different attachment methods, as well as assembly tooling.
