M20-9700346

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Harwin M20-9700346 is a male pin header connector from the M20 series, designed for board-to-board and wire-to-board applications. It features a 6-position configuration with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch across a single row. The component utilizes a right-angle mounting style suitable for through-hole installation on printed circuit boards. Contacts are constructed from brass with tin plating to ensure reliable conductivity. The housing is made of nylon, providing structural integrity and electrical insulation. This connector supports a current rating of 3A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Through-hole termination ensures secure mechanical attachment during soldering processes.
• Tin-plated brass contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable signal transmission.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Vertical interconnection in dense electronic assemblies
• Wire-to-board connections requiring angled routing
• General-purpose signal and power distribution in industrial electronics

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific orientation suffix in the part number to confirm the right-angle configuration before procurement. Ensure that the target PCB footprint matches the 2.54 mm pitch and hole dimensions specified for this M20 series header. Confirm that the tin plating meets the required environmental standards for the intended application environment.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle male header is required for low-profile board stacking or wire routing. The 6-position count suits applications needing minimal I/O points. Consider the through-hole requirement against surface-mount alternatives if space constraints differ. Verify that the 3A current rating aligns with the circuit's maximum load requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin M20 series, a widely used line of standard pitch connectors known for reliability. The M20 series offers various configurations including straight and right-angle headers in single and double rows. The M20-9700346 specifically addresses the need for angled connections in a small form factor, complementing the broader portfolio of board-level interconnect solutions.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 6-position count, 2.54 mm pitch, right-angle orientation, and through-hole mounting. Generic equivalents may vary in contact material or housing durability. Verify compatibility with mating sockets or wires before substitution to ensure proper fit and electrical performance.
