Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm exact contact plating thickness, housing color, and termination style variations. Ensure compatibility with the target wire gauge range and PCB mounting requirements before finalizing procurement specifications.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, right-angle power connection is required for moderate current applications. The crimp termination method necessitates appropriate crimping tools and wire preparation procedures. Consider the operating temperature limits and mechanical retention strength relative to the environmental conditions of the end-use application.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Amphenol Positronic DragonFly family, which is engineered for demanding environments requiring superior vibration resistance and contact retention compared to standard connectors. The series emphasizes durability and consistent performance over extended operational lifespans.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as the DF04M00 or DF04M40/AA variants if specific housing colors or minor mechanical differences are acceptable. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 4-position count, crimp termination type, and compatible wire gauge specifications.
