MTLW-104-24-S-S-280

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTLW-104-24-S-S-280 is a vertical header connector from the Samtec Flex Stack MTLW series. It features a 2.54mm (0.100 inch) pitch with 4 positions in a single row. The connector utilizes through-hole termination and push-pull locking. Contact materials are phosphor bronze with gold plating on both mating and post surfaces. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and carries UL recognition E111594.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Elastic stacking design allows for variable post heights and flexible board-to-board or cable-to-board assembly configurations.
• Features .025-inch square posts designed for thin-profile applications requiring reliable mechanical retention.
• Incorporates a push-pull locking mechanism to ensure secure connection stability during operation.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board connections
• Thin-profile electronic assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Samtec documentation to confirm exact post height and contact finish specifications. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required stacking height and current rating for the target application environment. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a concern.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, vertically oriented header with elastic stacking capabilities is required. The 4-position configuration suits compact signal routing needs. Consider the push-pull locking feature for applications demanding robust mechanical retention without soldering the housing.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTLW series, characterized by thin-profile, variable-height posts. It is distinct from standard fixed-height headers due to its elastic stacking capability, allowing for tolerance compensation in multi-layer board designs.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include MTLW-104-07-H-S-280 and MTLW-104-24-L-S-300, which share similar form factors but may differ in post material or height specifications.
