A24202-020

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Omnetics A24202-020 is a Micro Strip series header connector featuring 20 positions with a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch. Designed for surface mount installation, it utilizes male pins constructed from beryllium copper with gold plating to ensure reliable electrical contact. The component supports a rated current of 3A per contact and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. It is housed in black polyphenylene sulfide insulation, providing durability for high-reliability electronic interconnect applications.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• High-temperature polyphenylene sulfide insulation
• Latch retention mechanism for secure mating

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• High-density board-to-board interconnects
• Automotive electronics modules
• Industrial control systems
• Telecommunications equipment

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Omnetics documentation to confirm pin configuration and termination style. Ensure compatibility with surface mount reflow profiles. Cross-reference datasheets for mechanical dimensions and mating partner requirements before integration into final designs.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when surface mount technology is required for 20-position connections. Consider the 0.050-inch pitch constraint and thermal operating limits. Verify that the latch feature meets mechanical retention needs compared to non-latching alternatives in the Micro Strip family.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

Part of the Micro Strip family, known for compact form factors and high reliability. This model specifically addresses the need for vertical surface mount headers with positive locking mechanisms, distinguishing it from standard through-hole or non-latching variants within the broader Omnetics portfolio.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 20-position Micro Strip headers with identical pitch and mounting type. Verify pin count, orientation, and latch presence. Consult Omnetics engineering for cross-referencing equivalent performance specifications if exact part numbers are unavailable.
