M20-8760342R

Overview

The M20-8760342R is a surface-mount pin header from the Harwin M20 series, designed for board-to-board and wire-to-board connections. It features a 2-row configuration with 6 total contacts (3+3) and a 2.54 mm pitch. The connector utilizes brass contacts with tin plating on the tail and gold plating on the mating interface. Constructed with black PA6T insulation rated UL94 V-0, it supports a maximum current of 3A per contact at 250V. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to 105°C, with a mating pin length of 5.80 mm.

Feature Summary

• Push-pull locking mechanism ensures secure mechanical retention during mating cycles.
• Square contact shape provides stable alignment and reliable electrical connection.
• Cuttable design allows for flexible row length customization to fit specific PCB layouts.

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects in compact electronic assemblies
• Wire-to-board connections requiring surface-mount termination
• Industrial control modules operating within specified temperature ranges

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R' against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm reel packaging or variant specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles such as the M20-783 series. Confirm that the tin-plated tails are suitable for the intended soldering process and thermal profile requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, surface-mount header with push-pull retention is required. The 2.54 mm pitch suits standard PCB spacing. Consider the tin-plated tail option if cost efficiency is prioritized over high-corrosion resistance, while maintaining gold-plated mating surfaces for signal integrity.

Part Context

This part belongs to the M20 family of connectors, known for their slim profile and robust locking features. The M20-876xx series specifically denotes vertical pin headers. The M20-8760342R represents a 6-position variant within this lineup, offering a balance between connectivity density and mechanical stability for space-constrained applications.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating sockets include the M20-7830342 series. For direct replacement, ensure the substitute maintains the same 2.54 mm pitch, 2-row configuration, and surface-mount footprint. Verify that the locking mechanism type matches the assembly requirements.
