MTLW-102-23-S-S-200

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Samtec MTLW-102-23-S-S-200 is a .100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch low profile variable post height terminal strip featuring two positions in a single row. Designed for through-hole mounting, it utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The connector supports a current rating of 5.2 A and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. It incorporates an unlatched locking mechanism and is constructed with a black liquid crystal polymer (LCP) housing rated UL 94 V-0. The assembly includes a mating post length of 4.953 mm (0.195 in) and a termination post length of 2.037 mm (0.08 in).

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Samtec documentation to confirm exact physical dimensions and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors regarding post height tolerances. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free characteristics prior to final procurement decisions. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and traceability.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when variable post height flexibility is required for precise board-to-board alignment. The .100 inch pitch suits standard industrial spacing requirements while the low profile design minimizes overall assembly height. Evaluate the 5.2 A current rating against system power demands. Consider the through-hole mounting style for robust mechanical stability compared to surface mount alternatives.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTLW series of Flex Stack connectors by Samtec. The series specializes in low profile, variable post height terminal strips designed for versatile electronic interconnections.
