Key Features
- 14-pin right-angle orientation routes cable exit parallel to the PCB, ideal for panel-mount and low-profile enclosure designs
- Integrated latch mechanism prevents accidental disconnection in vibration-prone industrial and automotive cable assemblies
- Polarization key forces correct orientation during mating, eliminating mis-insertion errors in field-service environments
- Matte tin (Sn) over nickel (Ni) barrier contact finish ensures corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity across the connector's service life
- RoHS compliant construction meets environmental regulations for consumer, industrial, and communications products
Applications
The N3314-5202RB is used in industrial automation control panels where a 14-pin latched right-angle header connects ribbon cables between PCBs and operator interface modules, with the latch preventing vibration-induced disconnects. Its right-angle exit suits rack-mounted instrument enclosures where cables must exit parallel to the board surface to clear a front panel without sharp bends. Embedded computing and communications equipment also use this header for latched board-to-cable connections to peripheral subassemblies requiring field-removable wiring harnesses.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the 3M N3314-5202RB have, and what is its contact orientation?
The N3314-5202RB is a 14-position right-angle male header, meaning the 14 pins exit the connector body at 90 degrees relative to the PCB surface. This right-angle (R/A) orientation allows a mating cable or ribbon connector to exit horizontally along the board plane, which is preferred in enclosed chassis where vertical cable clearance above the PCB is limited, such as rack-mounted instruments and panel-mount control assemblies.
What does the latch feature on the N3314-5202RB provide in a cable assembly application?
The N3314-5202RB's short latch mechanism engages a corresponding tab on the mating receptacle housing, requiring deliberate deflection to release. This prevents accidental pull-out from cable tension or vibration, which is critical in industrial control equipment that may experience 5 G to 15 G vibration loads. The latch also provides a tactile click confirmation when the connector is fully seated, reducing assembly errors in high-volume production and field-service environments.
What contact finish does the N3314-5202RB use, and how does that affect long-term connection reliability?
The N3314-5202RB uses matte tin (Sn) plating over a nickel (Ni) barrier on the termination contacts. The nickel layer blocks copper diffusion into the tin, which would otherwise form brittle intermetallic compounds over time. Matte tin is cost-effective and compatible with standard wave or reflow solder processes, providing adequate corrosion resistance for indoor industrial environments and rated service temperatures typically up to 85°C, ensuring low contact resistance over thousands of mating cycles.
Is the N3314-5202RB polarized, and why does polarization matter in field-service wiring harness replacement?
Yes, the N3314-5202RB includes a polarization key that physically prevents reverse insertion. When field technicians replace a 14-pin wiring harness in a live industrial cabinet, polarization ensures the replacement connector can only mate in the correct orientation, preventing the reverse-connection damage to ICs or signal lines that can occur with un-keyed headers. This feature is especially valuable in multi-connector assemblies where two similar 14-pin harnesses are routed near each other and visual orientation cues may be insufficient.
