M50-3602042

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Harwin M50-3602042 is a surface mount header connector from the Archer M50 series. It features a 1.27mm (0.050 inch) pitch with 40 positions arranged in a dual inline configuration. The connector utilizes square male pins made of brass, finished with gold plating on the mating interface and tin on the tail. Designed for board-to-board or wire-to-board applications, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C. The housing is constructed from black thermoplastic material rated UL94 V-0 for flammability.
