M20-8761046

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M20-8761046 is a surface mount header connector from the Harwin M20 series, featuring a 2.54mm pitch and 20 positions arranged in two rows. It utilizes square male pins with gold-plated mating surfaces and tin-plated tails for solder termination. The housing is constructed from black polyamide (PA6T) rated UL94 V-0, supporting a maximum current of 3A per contact at 250V. Designed for board-to-board or cable applications, it offers a mating pin height of 5.80mm and compatible stacking heights of 11.53mm, 12.23mm, 12.63mm, and 18.13mm.

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm package type and reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment if using tape-and-reel packaging. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required stacking height for the target assembly. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for RoHS compliance and material safety data sheets prior to integration.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-density connection is required for SMT processes. The cuttable feature provides flexibility for varying circuit layouts without custom tooling. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C meets environmental requirements. Consider the 3A current rating per contact to ensure adequate power handling for the application load.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the M20 series, characterized by its compact form factor and robust mechanical locking. It complements matching socket connectors within the same product family to create complete interconnect solutions. The series is engineered for high-volume manufacturing environments requiring consistent performance and reliability across diverse industrial sectors.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 20-position, 2.54mm pitch SMT headers from Harwin's M20 line, such as M20-8761042P. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before substitution. Alternative manufacturers may offer similar specifications but require thorough validation of footprint and mating interface compatibility.
