Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin configuration and orientation against the official datasheet before integration. Ensure compatibility with mating female connectors from the same M20 series family. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required current and voltage ratings for the target application environment.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, high-current connection is required for through-hole PCBs. The twin beam technology distinguishes it from standard single-beam headers, offering improved retention force. Consider the operating temperature range and material specifications to ensure suitability for harsh environments or high-density layouts.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the M20 series, which represents industry-standard 2.54mm pitch connectors. The series is widely recognized for its versatility in various electronic assemblies. The M20-9700345 specifically addresses the need for a horizontal, double-row configuration with enhanced contact performance.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating parts include female sockets from the M20 series. Verify pin count and pitch alignment when substituting. No direct cross-model substitutes are confirmed without verifying mechanical footprint compatibility.
