M50-3610642

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Harwin M50-3610642 is a surface-mount pin header from the ARCHER M50 series, designed for board-to-board connections. It features a 12-position configuration with a 1.27 mm pitch and two rows of male pins. The connector utilizes gold-plated brass contacts housed in a black thermoplastic body. Rated for 1 A current and 250 V voltage, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The unit weighs 148 mg and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability standards.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount installation with straight orientation
• Gold-plated brass contacts for reliable conductivity
• Black thermoplastic housing with UL 94 V-0 rating

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Wire-to-board interconnections
• Board-to-board signal transmission
• General electronic assembly requiring SMT headers

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Harwin documentation to confirm contact plating, row count, and pitch specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating socket heights ranging from 2.2 mm to 8.5 mm as defined by the ARCHER M50 series design. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer's latest datasheet before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, double-row surface-mount header is required for dense circuit layouts. The 1.27 mm pitch accommodates standard PCB trace spacing. Consider the 3 mm mating pin length for appropriate clearance. Verify that the 1 A current rating aligns with the application's electrical load requirements and thermal environment.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the ARCHER M50 series, which offers various mating heights in single and double inline styles. The series is engineered for high-density applications requiring robust surface-mount connectivity. The M50-3610642 specifically provides a 12-position solution with male pins, suitable for connecting flexible or rigid boards in compact electronic devices.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other M50 series variants with matching 1.27 mm pitch and 12-position counts, such as M50-3611042R for reel packaging. Ensure replacement parts maintain identical row configuration, contact material, and mounting style to preserve mechanical and electrical integrity.
