A24204-016

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Omnetics A24204-016 is a Micro Strip series connector, specifically the DRP-16-DD-LT model. It features a dual-row plug configuration with 16 positions and a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) mating pitch. Designed for surface mount installation, it utilizes solder termination and includes a latch mechanism for secure retention. The contacts are made of beryllium copper with gold plating, housed in black polyphenylene sulfide insulation. Rated for 3A per contact, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LT' against official Omnetics documentation to confirm lead time and availability status. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles from the same Micro Strip family. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements for the specific application environment before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, surface-mount Micro Strip connector with latching capability is required. Consider the 16-position count and 0.050-inch pitch constraints. Evaluate thermal management needs given the -55°C to 125°C operating range and 3A current rating per contact.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

Part of the Omnetics Micro Strip family, designed for rugged environments. The A24204-016 represents a specific variant within the DRP series, focusing on dual-row density and mechanical stability through its latch feature, distinct from standard un-latched headers.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating connectors include A25204-016 (receptacle). Verify pinout and mechanical dimensions against alternative suppliers if cross-sourcing is necessary.
