CWN-512-16-0000

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The CWN-512-16-0000 is a rectangular header connector manufactured by CW Industries. It features 16 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. The connector utilizes right-angle through-hole termination for PCB mounting. Contact surfaces are gold-plated phosphor bronze pins designed for reliable signal transmission. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic material, providing mechanical stability and insulation.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Right-angle pin configuration facilitates compact board-to-board or cable connections.
• Gold-plated contacts ensure low contact resistance and corrosion resistance.
• Two-row layout supports high-density interconnect applications within limited space.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Consumer electronics internal circuit boards
• Telecommunications equipment signal routing

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official CW Industries documentation to confirm current availability status. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles regarding pitch and row count. Check for RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to your manufacturing standards. Confirm that the right-angle orientation matches your PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle male header is required for 2.54mm pitch applications. Ensure the PCB design accommodates the vertical height of the right-angle pins. Verify that the mating connector supports the same number of positions and row configuration. Consider environmental factors such as operating temperature range and mechanical stress during insertion cycles.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the CWN series of rectangular connectors from CW Industries. The series offers various configurations including straight and right-angle headers with different pin counts. The CWN-512-16-0000 specifically addresses needs for compact, right-angle interconnections in electronic assemblies requiring durable gold-plated contacts.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 16-position, 2-row, 2.54mm pitch, right-angle specification. Verify identical pin geometry and housing dimensions for interchangeability. Cross-reference with CW Industries' obsolescence notices for alternative recommendations if this specific part number is discontinued.
