961230-6804-AR

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The 961230-6804-AR is a vertical pin header connector from the 3M 961 series, designed for through-hole mounting. It features 30 positions in a single row with a 2.54mm (0.100 inch) mating pitch. The contacts are gold-plated on the mating interface and tin-plated on the termination side, housed in black thermoplastic insulation rated UL94 V-0. Rated for 2A at temperatures ranging from -25°C to 105°C, this unshrouded male pin strip utilizes a push-pull locking mechanism and board-to-board style configuration.
