M20-8761842

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M20-8761842 is a surface mount pin header from the Harwin M20 series, featuring a 2.54mm pitch and dual in-line configuration with 18+18 positions (36 total). It utilizes gold-plated contacts for mating interfaces and tin-plated tails for soldering, housed in black polyamide insulation rated UL94 V-0. The connector supports board-to-board or cable applications with a rated current of 3A per contact and a voltage rating of 250V, operating within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Dual in-line vertical design for high-density surface mount integration
• Gold-plated mating contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Polyamide insulation provides thermal stability and flame resistance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board connections
• High-density electronic assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official datasheet to confirm contact plating and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment specifications. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required pin count and row configuration for the target PCB layout.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust surface mount headers with precise 2.54mm spacing. Consider the 3A current rating and 250V voltage limit when designing power circuits. Verify mechanical clearance requirements for the vertical profile and stacking height constraints in dense enclosures.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the M20 series, which defines standard 2.54mm pitch connectors. It serves as a male header counterpart to female socket assemblies within the same ecosystem, facilitating standardized interconnect solutions across various industrial and consumer electronics platforms.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 36-position, 2.54mm pitch SMT headers from manufacturers such as Samtec or Molex, provided they match the mechanical footprint, pin configuration, and electrical ratings.
