M20-8770842

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M20-8770842 is an 8-position single-row vertical surface-mount pin header from the Harwin M20 series. It features a 2.54 mm pitch and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts with tin termination. Rated for 3A current and 250V, it operates between -40°C and +105°C. The connector utilizes a nylon housing without a cover, designed for board-to-board or wire-to-board applications.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Vertical surface-mount design for direct PCB integration
• Gold-plated contact surfaces ensure reliable signal transmission
• Nylon insulation provides structural stability and thermal resistance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic circuit interfaces

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating configuration against official datasheets, as variations exist within the M20 series regarding gold versus tin finishes. Confirm that the vertical orientation and single-row layout match the target PCB footprint requirements to ensure mechanical compatibility during assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row vertical header is required for SMT processes. Ensure the mating connector matches the 2.54 mm pitch and compatible contact geometry. Consider the 3A current rating and temperature range to verify suitability for the intended electrical load and environmental conditions.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the M20 series, a family of high-density connectors known for their compact form factor and robust performance in space-constrained designs. The series supports various configurations including dual-row and different pin counts, all sharing consistent 2.54 mm spacing standards.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other M20 series headers such as M20-8760442 or M20-8762042, provided they match the required row count and pin quantity. Verify that any alternative maintains the same vertical orientation and surface-mount termination style.
