Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R' availability if reel packaging is required, as standard listings may indicate bulk. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to ordering. Ensure PCB footprint matches the specified SMT pad layout to guarantee proper solder joint integrity during reflow processes.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, dual-row header is needed for high-density layouts. The 1.27 mm pitch allows for significant pin counts within a small area. Verify that the mating connector supports the 1.27 mm pitch and compatible contact length to ensure mechanical stability and electrical continuity.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Part Context

This part belongs to the Archer M50 series, a family of fine-pitch connectors known for reliability in harsh environments. The series offers various configurations including IDC cables and headers. The M50-3150942 specifically addresses the need for low-height vertical mounting solutions in modern electronic assemblies.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 18-position, 1.27 mm pitch SMT headers from Harwin's M50 line, such as M50-3610942, provided the profile and termination style match the design requirements. Cross-brand replacements require careful verification of dimensional tolerances and electrical ratings.
