A79018-001

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Omnetics A79018-001 is a Nano Strip series rectangular connector header designed for surface mount technology. It features an 18-position, dual-row configuration with male pin contacts. The connector utilizes a 0.025-inch (0.64mm) mating pitch and a 0.030-inch (0.76mm) row spacing. Contacts are constructed from beryllium copper with a 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold plating on the mating interface and tin-lead plating on the tail. The housing is made of natural thermoplastic material, providing an insulation height of 0.173 inches (4.40mm). It supports a rated current of 1A per contact and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.
