MTLW-104-07-F-D-280

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Samtec MTLW-104-07-F-D-280 is a vertical pin header from the Flex Stack MTLW series. It features an 8-position, 2-row configuration with a 2.54 mm (0.100 in) mating pitch and 2.54 mm row spacing. The connector utilizes male pin contacts with tin plating and phosphor bronze material. Designed for through-hole termination, it supports a rated current of 5.2 A per contact. Key dimensions include a 6.096 mm (0.240 in) mating post length and a 3.304 mm (0.130 in) termination post length. The housing is constructed from black liquid crystal polymer (LCP) with a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, operating within a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Elastic stacking design allows variable post height adjustment in 0.005 inch increments
• Accommodates .025 inch square posts for flexible board-to-board or cable connections
• Low profile construction optimizes vertical space efficiency in dense assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections requiring variable stack heights
• Cable-to-board connections using compatible pin strips
• High-density electronic assemblies with strict vertical clearance constraints

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required post height and contact plating specifications. Confirm that the tin-plated contacts meet the environmental requirements for the intended application. Ensure the through-hole mounting style aligns with the PCB fabrication capabilities. Check RoHS compliance status against project regulations before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when variable post height flexibility is required for precise alignment. The 2.54 mm pitch suits standard industrial and commercial layouts. Tin plating offers cost-effective conductivity for general-purpose applications. Verify that the 5.2 A current rating satisfies the circuit load requirements. Consider the LCP insulation material for high thermal stability during soldering processes.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Samtec Flex Stack MTLW family of low-profile terminal strips. The series provides elastic stacking capabilities for adaptable connection heights. The MTLW designation indicates a .100 inch pitch header with variable post options. This specific model represents a standard 8-position variant within the broader connector portfolio.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Substitute parts must maintain the 2.54 mm pitch, 8-position count, and dual-row configuration. Compatible alternatives should offer similar variable post height functionality. Verify that replacement connectors support the same through-hole termination method and current ratings.
