M20-9970846

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M20-9970846 is a vertical pin header from the Harwin M20 series, designed for board-to-board and wire-to-board connections. It features a 2.54 mm pitch with 16 contacts arranged in a dual in-line (DIL) configuration across two rows. The connector utilizes through-hole termination for secure PCB mounting. Contacts are made of phosphor bronze with a tin over nickel plating to ensure reliable conductivity. The housing is constructed from black nylon 6T material, rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.
