M20-9731146

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M20-9731146 is a male pin header from the Harwin M20 series, designed for board-to-board and wire-to-board connections. It features a single row with a 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes a vertical orientation for through-hole mounting. Contact materials consist of brass pins with tin plating to ensure reliable electrical performance. The housing is constructed from black nylon. This component supports a rated current of 3A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Single row male pin configuration with 2.54 mm pitch
• Vertical through-hole mounting style
• Tin-plated brass contacts housed in black nylon

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic circuit assembly

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and lead length against project requirements before ordering. Confirm that the vertical through-hole form factor aligns with the PCB layout constraints. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors within the M20 series or those sharing the 2.54 mm pitch standard. Check for any specific handling instructions regarding the tin-plated contacts during assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, vertical male header is required for low-current applications up to 3A. The 2.54 mm pitch makes it suitable for standard PCB spacing. Consider the tin plating for general-purpose use where gold plating is not strictly necessary. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the final device.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin M20 series, a widely used line of rectangular connectors known for their versatility. The M20 series offers various configurations including headers, sockets, and wire housings. The M20-9731146 specifically addresses needs for simple, reliable vertical interconnects in consumer electronics and industrial equipment.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes must match the 2.54 mm pitch, single row, vertical orientation, and tin-plated brass contact specifications. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same current rating and temperature range. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering similar DIL headers.
