N7E50-Q516RB-50-WF – 3M

The N7E50-Q516RB-50-WF, manufactured by 3M, is a CompactFlash (CF) card connector designed for surface mount (SMD) attachment to a printed circuit board (PCB). It features a right-angle orientation, facilitating horizontal insertion of the CF card relative to the PCB plane. The connector provides a 50-pin interface compliant with the CompactFlash Association specifications for Type I and Type II CF cards. The “Q516RB” portion of the part number likely denotes a specific internal 3M product code relating to the connector’s materials, plating, and manufacturing processes. The “WF” suffix may indicate a lead-free (Pb-free) finish, conforming to RoHS compliance standards. It is designed to provide a robust and reliable electrical connection for data transfer between the CF card and the host system. Designers should consult the 3M datasheet for detailed mechanical dimensions, electrical characteristics (including impedance and signal integrity performance), and recommended reflow soldering profiles.
