M20-9740246

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M20-9740246 is a male pin header from the Harwin M20 series, designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. It features a single row with four positions and a 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes a right-angle installation style, allowing for perpendicular board connections. Contact plating is specified as gold over nickel to ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The housing is constructed from black nylon, providing mechanical stability and insulation. This component serves as a standard interconnect solution for low-density board-to-board or wire-to-board applications requiring robust physical attachment.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Right-angle through-hole mounting configuration for compact PCB layouts
• Gold-plated contacts ensuring durable electrical connectivity
• Single-row design with four positions for simple signal routing

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in electronic assemblies
• Wire-to-board connections for peripheral interfaces
• Prototype development and testing fixtures

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating and housing material against the official manufacturer datasheet before integration. Confirm that the right-angle orientation aligns with the mechanical constraints of the target enclosure. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors regarding pitch and row count. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with current regulatory requirements for the intended market.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, right-angle connection is required for a four-channel interface. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard breadboard and prototyping systems. Consider the gold plating for environments where oxidation resistance is critical. Evaluate the mechanical strength of the through-hole solder joints against vibration requirements in the final application.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the M20 series, a widely used line of headers known for their reliability and standardized dimensions. The M20 series offers various configurations including single and double rows with different angles and plating options. The M20-9740246 specifically addresses the need for small-footprint, right-angle connections within this extensive family of interconnect solutions.
