M50 Connectors – 1.27mm pitch Male and Female Connectors

• Introduced as Standard product in 1997/1998

• Sales on this product range has steadily increased throughout this period

• More variations now available across the industry

Why more M50?

Additional M50s and New M52s

• To enhance the range of Fine Pitch products, additional connectors were specified for the 2005 Catalogue launch.

• The new products encompass 1.27mm pitch products, with a choice of 1.27mm or 2.54mm row spacing. SIL and DIL versions are available.

• There is now greater flexibility in connector heights and the choice of whether to have location pegs on SMT products.

• The M52 range increases the choice of Fine Pitch connectors, and gives Harwin more products meeting current industry standards.

• The addition of Pin Header Variant options for the M50 range give the ultimate flexibility in board-to-board connections. This has also been introduced for the M52 range.

Why more M50?

M50:

• 1.27mm pitch between rows and along connector.

• Male pin is 0.40mm square.

• Double row, Gold.

• Pin header variants now available.

• M50-3XX additions mate with current M50-3XX items – basic pin headers and sockets.

• M50-4X0 additions (shrouded single polarisation) do not mate with current M50-4X2 items (shrouded double polarisation).
