MTLW-103-06-G-S-100

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTLW-103-06-G-S-100 is a .100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch low profile variable post height terminal strip manufactured by Samtec. It features a single row with six positions, designed for through-hole solder pin termination. The contacts are gold-plated phosphor bronze pins housed in a black liquid crystal polymer (LCP) body. This component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and carries a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. The mating post length is specified at 2.54 mm (0.10 in), while the termination post length measures 2.544 mm (0.10 in).

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design enables modified post height and body position adjustments in precise increments.
• Vertical orientation with .025 inch square contact system for reliable interconnection.
• Through-hole solder pin termination ensures secure PCB mounting.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General purpose board-to-board interconnections
• Prototype development requiring adjustable heights
• Low profile electronic assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number configuration against official Samtec documentation before procurement. Confirm that the variable post height specifications align with your mechanical stack-up requirements. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors from the SSW or ESQ series. Check for any RoHS compliance details in the latest datasheet. Validate lead times and availability directly with authorized distributors as inventory status may vary.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low profile header with adjustable height is required. The single-row configuration suits applications needing minimal lateral space. The gold plating offers corrosion resistance for repeated mating cycles. Consider the through-hole termination method for robust mechanical stability. Evaluate the operating temperature range against your environmental conditions.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTLW series of Flex Stack headers. These components are characterized by their ability to accommodate varying board thicknesses without custom ordering. The series provides a cost-effective solution for standard .100 inch pitch applications. It complements Samtec's socket strips for complete interconnect systems.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MTLW series parts with matching pitch and row count but different post heights. Cross-reference with MTLW-103-06-G-S-xxx variants where xxx denotes the desired post height code. Ensure the replacement maintains the same termination style and contact material specifications.
