Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision when sourcing, as manufacturing updates may occur. Confirm that the latch mechanism aligns with your assembly requirements. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles from the same series. Check for any recent product change notices regarding material specifications or packaging variations before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model when a vertical orientation with a locking latch is required for 40-position connections. The 2.54mm pitch suits standard PCB layouts. Consider the gold plating for environments requiring high reliability. Evaluate space constraints due to the vertical profile and latch depth. Compare against non-latching alternatives if cost reduction is prioritized over retention force.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the CWN series of rectangular connectors from CW Industries. The series offers various contact counts and configurations for diverse electronic applications. The CWN-351-40-0000 specifically addresses needs for robust, latched vertical headers. It complements other series products providing flexible interconnect solutions for modern electronic assemblies.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include CWN-351-40-0077 and CWN-351-40-0099. These variants maintain identical form factors and pin counts while differing in contact plating thickness or insulation color. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before swapping. Ensure mating components are compatible with the selected replacement variant.
