LCW-136-15-L-S-230-RA

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The LCW-136-15-L-S-230-RA is a board connector from the Samtec LCW series, featuring 36 contacts arranged in a single row. It utilizes a male contact configuration with a 0.1 inch (2.54 mm) pitch and right-angle reverse orientation. The component employs solder terminals for PCB attachment and includes friction lock retention features. The mating length is specified as 0.230 inches. The insulator is black, and the unit is lead-free compliant.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Incorporates friction lock terminal strip design for secure connection retention
• Features right-angle reverse orientation for compact board layout integration
• Utilizes .100 inch pitch spacing for standard interconnect compatibility

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• High-density electronic assembly connections
• Right-angle board-to-board interface applications
• Industrial control system wiring harnesses

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'RA' corresponds to the required Right Angle Reverse orientation and that the 'L' designation matches the intended contact plating specifications. Confirm that the single-row 'S' configuration aligns with the circuit density requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any California Proposition 65 warnings regarding nickel content in the barrier layer before final procurement approval.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this part when a single-row, right-angle reverse header is required for space-constrained designs. The friction lock feature provides rugged retention compared to standard headers. Consider the 0.230-inch mating length to ensure adequate engagement depth with the corresponding receptacle. Verify that the phosphor bronze contact material and tin termination are suitable for the operating environment and current load requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the LCW (.100" Friction Lock Terminal Strip) series by Samtec Inc. The series offers various configurations including straight and right-angle options with different pin counts and plating choices. The LCW-136-15-L-S-230-RA represents a specific variant within this family, distinguished by its 36-pin count, single-row layout, and specialized reverse angle geometry.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other LCW series variants with matching pin counts and orientations, such as LCW-136-15-G-S-230-RA or LCW-136-15-S-S-230-RA, depending on plating requirements. Cross-reference mating connectors to ensure mechanical compatibility.
