M20-8760642

Overview

The Harwin M20-8760642 is a surface mount pin header from the M20 series, featuring a 12-position configuration with two rows. It utilizes a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch and is designed for right-angle board-to-board or cable connections. The connector employs brass contacts with gold plating on the mating interface and tin plating on the tail, housed in black nylon insulation rated UL94 V-0. It supports a current rating of 3 A per contact and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount construction optimized for pick-and-place assembly processes
• Gold-plated mating contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Unshrouded design facilitates flexible integration in compact layouts

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board wiring systems
• General electronic device internal connectivity

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential counterfeit risks. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official documentation before integration. Ensure storage conditions maintain integrity of the tin-plated tails against oxidation prior to soldering operations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when vertical SMT headers are required for dense circuit layouts. The unshrouded style offers lower profile options compared to shrouded variants. Verify that the 3 A current rating aligns with specific circuit load requirements during the design phase.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin M20 series, which defines standard 2.54 mm pitch connectivity solutions. The series includes various row counts and mounting styles, establishing a consistent mechanical footprint across different configurations for standardized manufacturing workflows.

Replacement Considerations

M20-8761042 serves as a verified substitute offering identical 2.54 mm pitch and surface mount characteristics with a 20-position configuration.
