A79046-001

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Omnetics A79046-001 is a Nano Strip series rectangular connector header featuring 36 male pins arranged in a dual-row configuration. Designed for surface mount or through-hole PCB installation, it utilizes a 0.025-inch (0.64mm) pitch with a 0.030-inch (0.76mm) row spacing. The unit includes two guide post holes for precise alignment and employs a push-pull locking mechanism. Contacts are constructed from copper beryllium with gold plating, rated at 1A per contact, and operate within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific mounting style required, as datasheets may list both surface mount and through-hole variants for this part number. Confirm that the two guide post holes align with the target PCB layout. Ensure compatibility with the corresponding female receptacle from the same Nano Strip series to maintain proper mechanical engagement and electrical performance standards.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36-position dual-row header is necessary for space-constrained designs. The 0.025-inch pitch allows for higher density compared to standard connectors. Consider the push-pull locking requirement versus other retention methods. Verify thermal requirements against the specified -55°C to 125°C operating range for the intended environment.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Nano Strip series by Omnetics, a line of precision connectors often utilized in demanding fields such as neuroscience research. The series is characterized by its compact size, high reliability, and specialized locking mechanisms suitable for critical interconnect applications where space and performance are paramount constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with NPD-36-DD-.10-GS for equivalent specifications. Verify mechanical dimensions and pinout compatibility before substitution. Ensure the alternative part supports the same dual-row configuration and guide post hole placement to fit existing PCB footprints.
