M20-9961645

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M20-9961645 is a right-angle pin header from the Harwin M20 series, designed for board-to-board or cable connections. It features a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch with 16 positions in a single row. The connector utilizes male pins made of brass with gold plating for reliable mating. It is constructed with black polyamide insulation and supports through-hole mounting. Rated for 3A per contact, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Right-angle design facilitates compact PCB layout and low-profile integration.
• Gold-plated brass contacts ensure durable performance and corrosion resistance.
• Polyamide insulation provides UL94 V-0 flame rating and thermal stability.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board connections
• Ribbon-cable housing interfaces

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '45' corresponds to the required gold plating and packaging configuration. Confirm that the right-angle orientation matches the mechanical constraints of the target assembly. Ensure compatibility with mating female sockets rated for the specified 2.54 mm pitch.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, right-angle connection is required for signal or power distribution. It is suitable for applications needing robust contact retention and high current density relative to its size. Consider the through-hole mounting method for secure mechanical attachment during soldering.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the M20 series, which offers various configurations including straight and right-angle headers. The series is known for its versatility in connecting ribbon cables and other mating systems. The M20-996 variant specifically denotes the right-angle form factor within the product line.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 16-position, 2.54 mm pitch right-angle headers from manufacturers such as Samtec or Molex, provided they match the pin dimensions and current ratings. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same through-hole termination style and insulation material properties.
