M20-9720346

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Harwin M20-9720346 is a 6-position, double-row vertical pin header from the M20 series. It features a 2.54 mm pitch and through-hole termination for PCB mounting. The connector utilizes brass contacts with tin plating and a nylon insulation body rated UL94 V-0. Rated for 3A current and operating between -40°C and 105°C, it supports board-to-board or cable applications.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Double-row configuration providing compact density for high-pin-count requirements within limited space.
• Vertical orientation designed for standard through-hole PCB assembly processes.
• Tin-plated brass contacts ensure reliable electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in embedded systems
• Cable-to-board wiring harnesses
• Industrial control module interfaces

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary. Confirm that the specific tin-plated variant matches design requirements for solderability and environmental exposure. Ensure PCB footprint dimensions align with the 2.54 mm pitch and double-row layout to prevent assembly errors during manufacturing.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a double-row male header is required for vertical mounting. The 2.54 mm pitch suits general-purpose digital and low-power analog signals. Consider the 3A rating per contact for load capacity. Verify that the nylon housing material meets thermal and chemical resistance needs for the target environment.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

Part of the Harwin M20 series, known for industrial-grade reliability. The M20 line offers various row counts and positions. This specific model serves as a standard interconnect solution for dense PCB layouts where vertical mating is preferred over right-angle configurations.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

M20-9720346 is a specific double-row variant. Generic single-row headers like M20-9720646 are not direct substitutes due to different pin counts and row structures. Cross-referencing requires matching pitch, row count, and terminal type.
