M50-3604042

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M50-3604042 is a surface-mount header connector from the Harwin Archer M50 series. It features 40 positions arranged in a dual in-line configuration with two rows. The connector utilizes a 1.27mm (0.050 inch) pitch for both contact and row spacing. It is designed for board-to-board or cable applications without a shroud. The contacts are male pins made of brass, featuring gold plating on the mating interface and tin plating on the tail. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic material rated UL94 V-0.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount installation for automated pick-and-place assembly
• Dual in-line layout with unshrouded design for compact integration
• Gold-plated mating contacts ensuring reliable signal transmission

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board connections
• High-density electronic assemblies requiring SMT compatibility

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix corresponds to the required packaging format, such as tape and reel for automated manufacturing. Confirm that the component status remains active before finalizing procurement plans. Ensure that the selected variant matches the exact pin count and pitch specifications required by the target circuit design.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when high-density surface mounting is required for dual-row interfaces. The 1.27mm pitch allows for significant I/O density within limited board areas. Consider the unshrouded design constraints regarding alignment during assembly. Evaluate the thermal requirements against the specified operating temperature range for the intended application environment.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Archer M50 series, which focuses on high-density interconnect solutions. The series offers various configurations including through-hole and IDC options. The M50-3604042 specifically addresses the need for surface-mounted headers with robust mechanical retention and electrical performance for modern electronics.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Harwin M50 series surface-mount headers with identical 40-position counts and 1.27mm pitch. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility and electrical ratings before substituting with components from different manufacturers.
