M22-2540846

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M22-2540846 is a dual in-line (DIL) pin header manufactured by Harwin Inc., designed for horizontal board-to-board or cable connections. It features an 8+8 configuration, totaling 16 positions with a 2 mm pitch. The connector utilizes tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts and a nylon insulation body. Rated for 1A per contact, it supports a voltage of 500V and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The component is RoHS compliant and lead-free.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Horizontal orientation design facilitates compact PCB layout integration.
• Dual in-line structure provides high-density connectivity options.
• Tin-plated contacts ensure reliable soldering and corrosion resistance.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board interconnects
• Consumer electronics with space-constrained horizontal mounting needs
• Automotive electronic modules utilizing standard 2mm pitch headers

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the tin plating finish and horizontal orientation, as variations exist within the M22 series. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets that match the 2mm pitch and DIL configuration. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required for your manufacturing process. Confirm that the 1A current rating meets the thermal requirements of your application under expected operating conditions.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this part when a horizontal header is required for tight vertical clearance constraints. The 2mm pitch offers a balance between density and ease of assembly compared to finer pitches. Consider the tin plating for general-purpose applications where gold plating is not strictly necessary for signal integrity. Verify that the 16-position count aligns with the circuit design requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Harwin M22 series, a widely used family of connectors known for their versatility in both board-to-board and wire-to-board applications. The M22 series typically features a 2mm pitch and is available in various configurations including single and double rows, straight and right-angle orientations. This specific model represents the horizontal variant within that extensive lineup.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Harwin M22 series headers with identical 2mm pitch and 16-position counts, such as M22-2540805 (if pin type matches). Cross-brand replacements must match the 2mm pitch, DIL format, and horizontal mounting style to ensure mechanical fit.
