MTLW-103-06-F-D-155

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTLW-103-06-F-D-155 is a board stacking connector from the Samtec Flex Stack series. It features a 2-row configuration with 6 positions per row, totaling 12 contacts. The connector utilizes a .100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch and employs male pin terminals for vertical through-hole solder termination. Designed for variable post height applications, it allows for modified body positioning in increments of .005 inch (.13 mm). The housing is constructed from black liquid crystal polymer (LCP), rated UL 94 V-0, and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design enables variable post height adjustment and flexible body positioning during assembly
• Vertical through-hole termination ensures secure mechanical attachment to printed circuit boards
• Low profile construction facilitates dense board stacking in space-constrained electronic designs

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections requiring adjustable stack heights
• High-density electronic assemblies utilizing vertical mating configurations
• Prototyping and retrofit applications needing flexible alignment tolerances

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix codes match the required contact plating and post height dimensions for your application. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements against your manufacturing process standards. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the intended operating temperature range and current carrying capacity specifications defined in the official datasheet.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when variable post height flexibility is required for precise board alignment. Consider the phosphor bronze contact material and gold plating options for reliable signal transmission. Evaluate the through-hole termination style against available PCB footprint constraints and assembly equipment capabilities to ensure compatibility with production workflows.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTLW series of low-profile terminal strips manufactured by Samtec. The series is characterized by its ability to accommodate varying board thicknesses without custom ordering. It serves as a standard solution for general-purpose board stacking where fixed-height connectors would restrict design flexibility or assembly tolerance management.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include MTLW-103-06-T-D-155 and MTLW-103-06-G-D-155, which share identical mechanical dimensions but differ in contact plating materials.
