HTSW-140-08-F-D-RA

Headers, Male Pins Overview

Samtec Inc. HTSW-140-08-F-D-RA is a rectangular header connector featuring 80 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. Designed for right-angle through-hole mounting, it utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with 3µin flash gold plating on the mating area and matte tin tails. The housing is made of natural liquid crystal polymer (LCP) rated UL94 V-0, supporting an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Right-angle board-to-board or cable connection capability
• Flash gold contact plating for reliable signal transmission
• High-temperature resistant LCP insulation material

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Consumer electronics internal circuit boards
• Telecommunications equipment modules

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Samtec documentation to ensure correct termination style and plating specifications. Confirm that the right-angle orientation matches the PCB layout requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documents for electronic components.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile right-angle male header is required for dense PCB layouts. The 2.54mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard ribbon cables and mating connectors. Consider the thermal stability of LCP for environments exceeding standard temperature limits. Verify current rating requirements against the specific wire gauge used in the application.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the HTSW series of .100 inch square terminal strips from Samtec. It is designed for general purpose interconnect applications requiring robust mechanical stability. The series offers various pin counts and row configurations to accommodate different circuit densities.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include TSW-140-08-F-D-RA for identical electrical characteristics but potentially different packaging. HTSW-140-08-L-D-RA offers heavy gold plating instead of flash gold. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 2.54mm right-angle headers only if mechanical dimensions are strictly verified.
