HMTSW-102-08-S-D-250

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The HMTSW-102-08-S-D-250 is a modified .100" (2.54 mm) pitch high-temperature terminal strip manufactured by Samtec. It features a dual-row configuration with 2 positions per row, totaling 4 contacts. The connector utilizes through-hole termination with solder pins and employs a .025" (0.635 mm) square post contact system. The mating post length is specified at 0.250 inches. The housing is constructed from black Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) with a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. Electrical contacts are made of phosphor bronze with gold plating.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Features an elastic stacking design that allows for variable post heights in precise increments to accommodate different board stack-up requirements.
• Utilizes a .025" square post terminal system designed for high-temperature processing environments and robust mechanical stability.
• Supports both vertical and right-angle mounting orientations for flexible PCB layout integration.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• High-temperature printed circuit board assembly processes
• Custom board stacking applications requiring specific height tolerances
• Automotive electronics systems utilizing A-series product standards

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the exact mating post length and total height specifications against the current official datasheet before finalizing the design. Confirm that the gold plating thickness meets the required signal integrity and durability standards for the intended operational environment. Ensure the LCP housing material compatibility aligns with the thermal profile of the manufacturing process.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when standard header heights are insufficient for the specific mechanical stack-up requirements. The variable post height capability allows for customization without custom tooling costs. Consider the high-temperature resistance of the LCP housing if the application involves reflow soldering profiles exceeding standard limits. Verify that the .025" square post interface matches the mating socket or pin headers.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the HMTSW series, which represents modified .100" pitch terminal strips with high-temperature capabilities. The series is characterized by its flexible stacking design and availability in various post lengths.
