M20-8762346

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M20-8762346 is a surface-mount pin header from the Harwin M20 series, designed for board-to-board or wire-to-board applications. It features a 2.54mm (0.100 inch) pitch with 46 positions arranged in a dual inline configuration (two rows of 23). The connector utilizes square male pins made of brass with tin plating and a black polyamide (PA6T) insulator rated UL94 V-0. Rated for 3A per contact at 250V, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The component is currently marked as obsolete by the manufacturer.

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

This component is officially classified as obsolete by Harwin Inc., indicating that manufacturing has ceased and supply is limited to existing stock. Procurement should focus on verifying the authenticity of available inventory through authorized distributors. Due to the end-of-life status, long-term availability cannot be guaranteed, making this part unsuitable for new designs requiring extended production lifecycles.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this component must account for its obsolete status when planning for future maintenance or production scaling. While the M20 series offers robust mechanical performance and standard 2.54mm spacing, the specific 46-position SMD variant is no longer in active production. Alternative solutions within the same series or newer generations should be evaluated to ensure supply chain continuity and compliance with long-term project requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

The M20-8762346 belongs to the Harwin M20 series, a widely recognized line of 2.54mm pitch connectors known for their compact form factor and reliability. This specific model represents a surface-mount header variant, differing from through-hole counterparts like the M20-7832046. The series is engineered for applications demanding secure connections in space-constrained environments, utilizing durable materials to withstand environmental stressors during operation.
