HMTSW-104-08-L-D-280

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The HMTSW-104-08-L-D-280 is a .100" (2.54mm) pitch high-temperature variable post height terminal strip from Samtec's HMTSW series. It features an 8-position, 2-row configuration with phosphor bronze contacts and gold plating. The connector utilizes a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) insulator rated UL94 V-0 for flame resistance. Designed for through-hole mounting, it supports vertical or right-angle orientations. The operating temperature range spans from -55°C to +125°C, ensuring reliability in demanding thermal environments.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• High-temperature capability utilizing liquid crystal polymer insulation
• Variable post height design for flexible stacking configurations
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable signal transmission

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board connections
• High-temperature electronic assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Samtec documentation to confirm pin count, row configuration, and post height specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors regarding pitch and contact geometry. Check RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your manufacturing process before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when high-temperature stability and flexible stacking heights are required. The LCP material offers superior thermal performance compared to standard polyester insulators. Consider the variable post height feature if precise board spacing adjustments are necessary within your mechanical assembly constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the HMTSW series, which represents modified .100" pitch headers designed for high-temperature applications. The series allows for custom post heights in increments of .005", providing extensive flexibility for various stacking solutions. It complements other Samtec header families by offering enhanced thermal resilience and customizable physical dimensions.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other HMTSW series variants with matching pitch and position counts but different post heights. Cross-reference MTSW series parts only if high-temperature requirements are not critical, as they use different insulation materials. Verify that any replacement maintains the same contact plating and current rating specifications.
