M50-3630842R

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Harwin M50-3630842R is a single-row, 1.27mm pitch male pin header designed for surface mount technology (SMT) applications. It features eight contacts arranged in a straight configuration with a vertical orientation relative to the board. The connector utilizes a gold finish on the contact area and tin plating elsewhere, ensuring reliable electrical performance. With a mating pin height of 3mm, it supports robust board-to-board connections in compact electronic assemblies.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Single row design with 1.27mm pitch for high-density mounting
• Surface mount termination for automated assembly processes
• Gold-plated contact areas to ensure signal integrity

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in compact electronics
• High-density circuit board assemblies requiring SMT compatibility
• Industrial control modules needing reliable vertical headers

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R' indicates reel packaging when sourcing from distributors. Confirm that the component matches the 1.27mm pitch requirement for your PCB footprint. Ensure the gold contact finish specification aligns with your environmental durability needs. Cross-reference the datasheet for reflow soldering profile limits to prevent thermal damage during manufacturing.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this part only if a single-row, vertical SMT header is required. The 1.27mm pitch dictates compatible mating connectors and PCB trace spacing. Verify that the 3mm mating pin height fits within your enclosure constraints. Consider the gold contact finish for corrosion resistance in demanding environments compared to tin-only alternatives.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Harwin ARCHER M50 series, which focuses on high-reliability interconnect solutions. The series offers various configurations including jumper sockets and shunts. The M50-3630842R specifically addresses the need for small-footprint, high-density connections in modern electronic devices where space is limited.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1.27mm pitch, 8-position count, and SMT vertical form factor. Verify that any alternative maintains the same gold contact finish and 3mm mating height. Check for identical mechanical locking features and PCB footprint dimensions to ensure seamless integration without redesign.
