M20-8760342P

Overview

The Harwin M20-8760342P is a surface-mount male pin header from the M20 series, featuring a 2.54 mm pitch and 6 contacts arranged in a double-row configuration. It supports board-to-board and wire-to-board connections with a current rating of 3A per contact and a voltage rating of 250V. The connector utilizes gold-plated brass contacts and a black nylon insulation housing, operating within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. Designed for pick-and-place automation, it offers a mating pin height of 5.8mm and compatible stacking heights of 11.53mm, 12.23mm, 12.63mm, or 18.13mm.

Feature Summary

• Double-row surface-mount design optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly processes
• Gold-plated brass contacts ensure reliable electrical performance and corrosion resistance
• UL94 V-0 rated nylon insulation provides high thermal stability and flame retardancy

Applications

• Embedded PC systems requiring compact interconnects
• Consumer electronics with space-constrained PCB layouts
• Industrial control modules needing robust board-to-board connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'P' indicates the tape-and-reel packaging format suitable for automated assembly, distinct from standard tube packaging. Confirm that the component matches the required pick-and-place machine specifications. Ensure the ordering code aligns with the exact contact count and row configuration to avoid integration errors during production.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile, double-row SMT header is required for high-density applications. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard industry connectors. Consider the 5.8mm mating height to verify clearance constraints within the final enclosure design relative to other stacked components.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Harwin M20 series, a widely adopted standard for industrial and consumer electronics. The series is characterized by its compact footprint and reliability in harsh environments. As a male pin header, it serves as the counterpart to female socket connectors, facilitating secure signal and power transmission between circuit boards.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include Harwin part numbers such as M20-8760442 (8-pin) or M20-8760642 (12-pin) for higher density needs. For single-row alternatives, consider M20-8770542. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 2.54 mm pitch and surface-mount orientation.
