M20-9700946

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M20-9700946 is a right-angle pin header from the Harwin M20 series, designed for board-to-board or cable connections. It features a 18-position configuration with a 2.54mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes male square pins with tin plating on both mating and tail sections, constructed from brass contacts and black nylon insulation rated UL94 V-0. It supports a current rating of 3A per contact and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The unit employs through-hole termination for secure PCB mounting.

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Harwin documentation to confirm right-angle orientation and pin count. Ensure compatibility with mating female housings regarding stack height and locking mechanisms. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle profile is necessary to minimize board footprint or accommodate adjacent components. The 2.54mm pitch ensures broad compatibility with standard PCB footprints and mating connectors. Consider the 3A current rating and operating temperature limits to ensure suitability for the intended electrical environment.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the M20 series, a widely used family of rectangular connectors known for their versatility in various electronic applications. The series offers multiple configurations including straight and right-angle headers, wire housings, and sockets, providing engineers with standardized options for diverse interconnection needs.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 18-position, 2.54mm pitch right-angle headers from manufacturers such as Samtec or Molex, provided they match the pin dimensions, current rating, and mounting style. Verify that alternative parts meet the same UL94 V-0 flammability rating and temperature specifications.
