M20-9710246

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M20-9710246 is a male pin header connector from the Harwin M20 series, designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. It features a single row with two positions and a standard 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) pitch. The connector supports right-angle installation, allowing for perpendicular board connections. Rated for a current of 3 A and a voltage of up to 750 V, it utilizes brass contacts with tin plating for reliable conductivity. The housing is constructed from black nylon, providing mechanical stability and insulation. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +105°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Right-angle configuration enables compact perpendicular board-to-board or wire-to-board interconnections.
• Through-hole solder pin termination ensures secure mechanical attachment to PCB traces.
• Tin-plated brass contacts provide durable electrical performance within specified thermal limits.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Perpendicular board-to-board signal transmission
• Wire-to-board connection interfaces
• General electronic equipment requiring right-angle headers

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific orientation suffix in the part number to confirm right-angle design versus straight variants. Ensure the target PCB layout accommodates the right-angle footprint and required clearance height. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for precise mechanical dimensions and soldering profile requirements before integration.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle male header is required for low-profile vertical connections. Confirm that the 2.54 mm pitch matches existing board spacing. Verify that the 3 A current rating and 750 V insulation voltage meet system electrical requirements. Check compatibility with mating sockets or cables within the M20 series ecosystem.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Harwin M20 series, a widely used line of high-density connectors known for reliability. The series offers various configurations including straight and right-angle headers, sockets, and shrouded options. The M20-9710246 specifically addresses applications needing a compact, two-position right-angle interface with robust through-hole mounting capabilities.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 2-position, 2.54 mm pitch right-angle male headers from manufacturers such as Samtec, Molex, or TE Connectivity. Ensure equivalent current ratings, voltage ratings, and mechanical footprint dimensions are matched during substitution.
