M20-7880842

Overview

The M20-7880842 is a dual in-line (DIL) header connector from the Harwin M20 series, designed for surface-mount technology applications. It features an 8+8 pin configuration, totaling 16 positions arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes a 2.54 mm pitch spacing to ensure compatibility with standard PCB layouts. Constructed with brass contacts and terminated with tin plating, it offers reliable electrical performance. The housing is made of polyamide material, rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. Operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, this component supports board-to-board or cable connections. Its horizontal orientation facilitates compact assembly designs.

Feature Summary

• Horizontal surface-mount design for space-efficient PCB integration
• Dual in-line configuration with 16 total positions
• Tin-plated brass contacts for corrosion resistance
• Polyamide insulation with UL94 V-0 flammability rating

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board assemblies
• Industrial control systems
• Consumer electronics manufacturing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and orientation details against the official datasheet. Ensure the selected variant matches the required horizontal mounting style and tin termination. Cross-reference the part number with the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm current production status and compliance certifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, horizontal SMT header is required for 16-position connections. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures broad compatibility with existing connector ecosystems. Consider the tin plating for general-purpose applications where gold plating is not strictly necessary. Evaluate the thermal operating range to ensure suitability for the intended environmental conditions during operation.

Part Context

Part of the M20 series, known for high-density interconnect solutions. This specific model represents a mid-range position count option within the DIL header family. It complements socket counterparts for complete mating pairs. The series emphasizes robust mechanical stability and consistent electrical performance across various industrial sectors.

Replacement Considerations

M20-7880842 is a specialized horizontal SMT header. Direct substitutes must match the 16-pin DIL layout, 2.54 mm pitch, and horizontal orientation. Verify that alternative components maintain identical tin plating and polyamide housing specifications to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
