M20-7880442

Overview

The M20-7880442 is a surface-mount socket header from the Harwin M20 series, designed for board-to-board and wire-to-board connections. It features an 8-position configuration arranged in a dual in-line (DIL) format with two rows of four contacts each. The connector utilizes a 2.54 mm pitch spacing and employs right-angle termination for vertical PCB mounting. Contacts are constructed from brass with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The housing is made of nylon, providing structural integrity and insulation.

Feature Summary

• Dual row right-angle surface mount design
• Gold-plated brass contacts for conductivity
• Nylon housing for insulation and durability

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic circuit assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific orientation suffix and contact count against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary by region. Ensure the right-angle footprint matches the target PCB layout requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, right-angle connection is required for dense PCB layouts. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard through-hole components and cables. Verify that the current rating and voltage specifications meet the application's electrical demands.

Part Context

This part belongs to the M20 series, a family of connectors known for their compact size and reliability. The series offers various configurations including pin headers, sockets, and shrouded options. The M20-7880442 specifically addresses needs for space-constrained applications requiring robust surface-mount technology.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. Consider checking other Harwin M20 series variants or generic 2.54 mm DIL SMT sockets if exact replacement is unavailable.
