Key Features
- 34-position (17+17) dual-in-line layout on 2.54 mm pitch for high-density through-hole PCB interconnects
- 6.1 mm straight pin length accommodates standard PCB thickness and enables robust wave-soldering or hand-soldering assembly
- Brass contacts with tin (Sn) over nickel (Ni) barrier termination provide corrosion resistance and reliable solder joint formation
- Pb-free RoHS compliant construction meets current environmental regulations for consumer and industrial products
Applications
The M20-9981746 is well suited for development boards, industrial controller backplanes, and educational electronics platforms that rely on the 2.54 mm standard pitch for signal and low-power interconnects. Its 34-position dual-row format enables parallel data buses of up to 16 bits plus ground and power lines within a single connector footprint. The straight through-hole design is compatible with both wave soldering in production and hand soldering during prototyping.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the M20-9981746 provide and what is its pin pitch?
The M20-9981746 is a 34-position dual-in-line connector arranged as 17 pins per row on a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. This standard spacing aligns with virtually all 0.1-inch grid PCBs and breadboards, making it directly compatible with IDC cable assemblies and common female header receptacles without adapters.
What contact material and finish does the M20-9981746 use and how does this affect soldering?
The M20-9981746 uses brass contact pins with a tin (Sn) over nickel (Ni) barrier termination finish. The nickel barrier prevents tin diffusion into the brass substrate, improving long-term joint reliability. The tin finish is directly compatible with standard lead-free SAC305 solder paste and wave soldering processes at peak temperatures around 260°C.
What PCB applications benefit from the M20-9981746's 6.1 mm pin length?
A 6.1 mm straight pin length accommodates standard PCB thicknesses of 1.0 mm to 1.6 mm while leaving sufficient pin protrusion on the solder side for reliable fillet formation during wave or hand soldering. This makes the M20-9981746 well suited for single-sided PCBs used in data acquisition modules, relay driver boards, and panel-mounted controller cards.
How does the M20-9981746 compare to a 34-position SMT header for vibration-prone environments?
Through-hole connectors like the M20-9981746 form solder joints that penetrate the full PCB thickness, providing mechanical pull-out forces typically 5 to 10 times greater than equivalent SMT pads. For applications in vibrating machinery, automotive auxiliary electronics, or industrial field equipment, this superior mechanical retention reduces the risk of connector detachment under shock and vibration loads.
