M20-9960945

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M20-9960945 is a right-angle pin header connector from the Harwin M20 series, designed for through-hole mounting. It features a single row with nine positions and a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The contacts are male pins made of brass with gold plating, rated for 3A per contact. The housing is constructed from black polyamide (PA6T) nylon, offering UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +105°C. The connector has no shroud and utilizes push-pull retention.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Right-angle design facilitates compact board-to-board or cable connections
• Gold-plated brass contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic insulation provides high thermal stability and flame resistance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in industrial electronics
