M20-8900505R

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M20-8900505R is a single-row, right-angle male pin header connector from the Harwin M20 series. It features a 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) pitch and provides five contact positions. Designed for surface mount technology (SMT), this component utilizes a copper alloy housing with UL 94V-0 flame rating. The connector includes secure latching mechanisms to ensure reliable mating. It has a housing profile height of 3.46 mm and a mating pin length of 6 mm, suitable for board-to-board or wire-to-board applications.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Single-row right-angle configuration for horizontal mounting
• Secure latching mechanism ensures stable connection
• High-temperature resistant UL 94V-0 rated housing
• Surface mount termination for automated assembly

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in compact electronics
• Wire-to-board connections requiring right-angle routing
• Industrial control modules with space constraints
• Consumer electronic devices needing reliable SMT headers

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact variant, as the M20 series offers multiple configurations including double-row options with jackscrew fixing. Ensure compatibility with standard 2.54 mm pitch mating connectors. Check current availability status as lead times may vary. Confirm that the right-angle orientation matches the PCB layout requirements. Validate that the surface mount footprint aligns with the designated design rules.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this part when a right-angle male header is required for surface mount assembly. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for general-purpose interconnects. Consider the 3.46 mm profile height for vertical space limitations. The secure latching feature distinguishes it from non-latching variants. Evaluate the need for the specific copper alloy construction versus other material options available in the broader M20 family.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Harwin M20 series, which encompasses a wide range of board-to-board and wire-to-board connectors. The M20 series is known for its modular design and high reliability. The M20-8900505R specifically addresses the need for right-angle surface mount solutions within this extensive portfolio, complementing straight and double-row variants.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 5-position, 2.54 mm pitch, right-angle SMT male headers from manufacturers such as Samtec or Molex. Verify that alternative parts match the 3.46 mm height and latching mechanism if retention force is critical. Cross-reference the PCB footprint dimensions to ensure mechanical compatibility without redesigning the board.
