MTLW-104-05-L-D-175

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTLW-104-05-L-D-175 is a .100 Low Profile Variable Post Height Terminal Strip manufactured by Samtec. It features a 2-row configuration with 8 total positions and a 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch. Designed for through-hole mounting, it utilizes straight pin strip contacts with gold plating on phosphor bronze terminals. The component has a mating post length of 4.445 mm (0.175 in) and a termination post length of 2.545 mm (0.1 in). It operates within a temperature range of -55 C to +125 C and carries a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Samtec documentation to ensure correct post height and contact plating specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free manufacturing details prior to procurement. Cross-reference the Mouser part number 200-MTLW10405LD175 with manufacturer catalogs to validate availability and regional distribution restrictions.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when variable post height flexibility is required for low-profile applications. The .100 inch pitch suits standard digital signal routing. Ensure the 8-position capacity meets circuit density requirements. Verify that the through-hole solder pin termination aligns with the target PCB fabrication capabilities and thermal profile constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTLW series of .100 Low Profile Variable Post Height Terminal Strips. The series is characterized by its ability to accommodate varying board stack heights without custom tooling. It serves as a versatile header solution for connecting flexible flat cables or mating connectors in compact electronic assemblies.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Substitute parts must maintain the same 2.54 mm pitch, 2-row configuration, and variable post height functionality. Verify compatibility with existing mating connectors regarding post dimensions and electrical ratings.
