M20-8762542

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M20-8762542 is a surface mount header connector from the Harwin M20 series, designed for board-to-board or cable applications. It features a dual in-line configuration with 25 positions per row across two rows, totaling 50 contacts. The connector utilizes a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch and employs square male pin contacts made of brass. The mating contact surfaces are gold-plated, while the tail contacts are tin-plated to facilitate soldering. The housing is constructed from black polyamide (PA6T), rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. Electrical ratings include a current capacity of 3A per contact and a voltage rating of 250V. The unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Dual-row surface mount design with 2.54mm pitch for high-density interconnects
• Gold-plated mating contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Tin-plated tails optimized for standard wave or reflow soldering processes
• UL94 V-0 rated polyamide insulation for thermal stability

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• High-density board-to-board connections
• Cable-to-board interconnections
• Industrial control systems requiring robust SMT headers
• Consumer electronics with space-constrained layouts

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the official Harwin datasheet to confirm plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment due to the surface mount form factor. Cross-reference the lead time with authorized distributors as manufacturing schedules may vary. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by your assembly standards.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50-position dual-row header is required for surface mounting. The 2.54mm pitch suits general-purpose digital and low-power analog signals. Consider the 3A current rating per contact for power distribution needs. Verify that the PCB footprint matches the specified dimensions for proper alignment during assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin M20 series, a family of connectors known for their compact size and reliability. The M20 series offers various configurations including single and double rows with different pin counts. The M20-8762542 specifically addresses the need for higher density interconnects in surface mount applications compared to through-hole alternatives.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating sockets include M20-7852542. For direct replacement, verify that the substitute part maintains the same 2.54mm pitch, dual-row structure, and surface mount termination style. Ensure electrical ratings meet or exceed the original specifications.
