M20-8772342

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M20-8772342 is a surface mount header connector from the Harwin M20 series, featuring 23 positions with a 2.54 mm pitch. It utilizes square pin contacts made of brass with gold plating for mating surfaces and tin plating for tails. The housing is constructed from black polyamide (PA6T) rated UL94 V-0, supporting operation between -40°C and 105°C. Rated at 3A per contact and 250V, it offers a mating pin length of 5.80 mm and an insulation height of 2.54 mm.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount design with push-pull locking mechanism for secure board attachment
• Gold-plated square pin contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• High-temperature resistant PA6T insulation material supports demanding environments

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in compact electronic assemblies
• Wire-to-board connections requiring surface mount termination
