MTLW-101-06-T-S-050

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTLW-101-06-T-S-050 is a .100" (2.54 mm) pitch low profile variable post height terminal strip manufactured by Samtec. This component features a single row of male pin contacts with a total of two positions. It utilizes a through-hole termination style for board mounting and incorporates a phosphor bronze contact material finished with matte tin plating over nickel. The mating post length is specified at 0.050 inches (1.27 mm), while the overall contact length reaches 0.300 inches. The housing is constructed from black plastic, supporting vertical orientation.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Features a Flex Stack design that allows for modified post heights and body positioning in precise increments to accommodate varying board stack-up requirements.
• Utilizes .025 inch square posts to provide reliable electrical connections within a low-profile form factor suitable for dense circuit layouts.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board stacking connections
• Vertical interconnects in compact electronic assemblies
• Custom height adjustment for multi-layer PCB integration

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Samtec documentation to ensure the correct post height and termination configuration. Confirm that the matte tin plating meets the environmental and conductivity requirements for the target application. Cross-reference the mechanical dimensions with the CAD models provided by the manufacturer to guarantee compatibility with mating components and board layout constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile header with adjustable post height is required for single-row applications. The variable post height capability allows for flexibility in assembly tolerances. Ensure the through-hole termination method aligns with the manufacturing process. The matte tin finish offers cost-effective performance for general-purpose environments where gold plating is not strictly necessary.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTLW series, which represents .100" low profile variable post height terminal strips. The series is designed to offer stacking flexibility through modified .025" square posts. It serves as a specialized connector solution for applications requiring precise vertical spacing adjustments between printed circuit boards.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other MTLW series variants with matching pitch and row count but different post heights or plating options. Verify that any replacement maintains the same single-row configuration and through-hole termination style to ensure mechanical fit.
