A24204-044

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Omnetics A24204-044 is a Micro Strip series connector header featuring 44 positions in a dual-row configuration. Designed for through-hole mounting, it utilizes male pin contacts with a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) mating pitch and 0.100-inch (2.54mm) row spacing. The assembly includes an integrated latch mechanism for secure retention. Contacts are gold-plated to ensure reliable signal transmission, while the black PPS insulation provides structural stability. This component supports board-to-cable or wire connections, offering a robust solution for high-density interconnect applications requiring precise alignment and durable mechanical locking.

• Dual-row header design facilitates high-density board-to-wire connections

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• High-density electronic interconnect systems
• Board-to-cable or wire assemblies
• Precision instrumentation interfaces

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Omnetics documentation to confirm exact contact plating thickness and material composition. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles regarding latch engagement force and housing dimensions. Confirm that the through-hole termination method aligns with your PCB manufacturing capabilities and thermal profile requirements prior to final procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a locked header is required for dual-row applications. The 0.050-inch pitch allows for compact layouts compared to standard 0.100-inch headers. Consider the mechanical strength of the latch versus simple friction-fit options. Verify that the 44-position count matches the circuit density needs without exceeding available board space constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Micro Strip family, known for miniature form factors and high reliability. It complements matching receptacles and cable assemblies within the same series. The design emphasizes precision engineering for demanding environments where consistent electrical performance and mechanical security are critical for long-term system integrity.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 44-position dual-row male headers with identical 0.050-inch pitch and latch mechanisms. Verify cross-compatibility with mating sockets regarding housing width and latch geometry. Alternative brands may require adapter solutions if mechanical locking features differ significantly from the original Omnetics design.
