HMTSW-120-08-SM-D-285

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The HMTSW-120-08-SM-D-285 is a variable height PCB header strip manufactured by Samtec Inc. It features a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch and consists of 40 contacts arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes a male pin contact system with .025 inch (.635 mm) square posts. It is designed for through-hole termination and offers a vertical orientation. The component supports a modified post height configuration, allowing body position adjustments in .005 inch (0.13 mm) increments via its Flex Stack design.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design enables modified post height and body position adjustments in .005 inch increments
• Features .025 inch (.635 mm) square post contact system for reliable board-to-board connections
• Supports vertical orientation with through-hole solder termination

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-Board interconnections
• Cable assemblies requiring variable height headers
• High-temperature board processing environments

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes to confirm terminal length and plating specifications against official Samtec documentation. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors regarding the .025 inch square post interface. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your assembly process before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this part when variable post height flexibility is required within a standard 0.100 inch pitch framework. The high-temperature variant is suitable for applications involving rigorous thermal processing. Consider the total contact length and insulation height to ensure proper mechanical fit within the target enclosure or stack-up constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the MTSW/HMTSW series of variable height PCB header strips. It serves as a specialized variation of the classic TSW header, offering extensive terminal length options. The series is characterized by its ability to accommodate different board thicknesses without custom manufacturing, providing a standardized solution for diverse stacking heights.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MTSW series variants with matching pitch and contact count but different terminal lengths. Cross-reference with HMTSW models if high-temperature performance is mandatory. Verify that alternative parts maintain the .025 inch square post geometry for proper mating compatibility.
