A24201-016

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Omnetics A24201-016 is a Micro Strip series rectangular connector designed for surface mount applications. It features a right-angle configuration with 16 positions and a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) mating pitch. The connector utilizes a latch-type locking mechanism and accepts male pin contacts. Constructed with PPS insulation, it supports a rated current of 3A per contact and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Micro Strip series design optimized for high-density board-to-board or board-to-wire interconnections
• Right-angle surface mount termination facilitates compact PCB layout configurations
• Integrated latch locking mechanism ensures secure mechanical retention during mating cycles

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• High-reliability aerospace and defense electronic systems
• Compact industrial control and instrumentation modules
• Automotive electronics requiring robust vibration resistance

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Omnetics documentation to confirm exact contact plating and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with corresponding female receptacles from the same Micro Strip family. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations, as variations may exist within the product line.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, right-angle SMT header with positive locking is required. Verify that the mating counterpart provides compatible female socket contacts. Consider the 0.050-inch pitch constraint for trace routing density. Ensure the operating environment falls within the specified thermal limits for the polyphenylene sulfide housing.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Micro Strip family, which specializes in miniature, high-reliability connectors. The series is engineered for demanding environments where space constraints and connection integrity are critical. It complements other components in the Omnetics portfolio designed for harsh condition applications.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include A24201-020 for increased pin count within the same series. Cross-model alternatives require verification of pitch, locking style, and mounting orientation to ensure functional equivalence.
