MTLW-105-05-G-S-195

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTLW-105-05-G-S-195 is a .100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch low-profile variable post height terminal strip manufactured by Samtec. It features a single row with five positions and utilizes phosphor bronze contacts plated with gold for reliable conductivity. Designed for through-hole mounting, the connector includes male pin contacts with a mating post length of 4.953 mm (0.195 inches) and a termination post length of 2.037 mm (0.08 inches). The housing is constructed from black liquid crystal polymer (LCP), offering UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and supports a current rating of 5.2 A per contact.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Elastic stacking design allows for variable post heights in increments of .005 inches
• Low profile construction facilitates compact board-to-board connections
• Vertical assembly orientation ensures standard alignment with PCB traces

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects requiring flexible stack heights
• High-density electronic assemblies with vertical space constraints
• Prototyping environments needing adjustable connector heights

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact post height and contact configuration required for your application. Ensure that the through-hole termination style matches your PCB fabrication capabilities. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS and halogen-free status against project specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when variable post height adjustment is necessary to accommodate mechanical tolerances or layer stack variations. The .100 inch pitch suits general-purpose digital and analog signal routing. Consider the single-row configuration for simpler connectivity needs where multi-row density is not required.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTLW series, which provides low-profile solutions for flexible stacking applications. The Flex Stack trademark indicates specialized engineering for variable height adjustments. It complements other Samtec interconnect families by offering precise mechanical adaptability without sacrificing electrical performance standards.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly documented in public sources. Verify compatibility using the elastic stacking height parameters and .100 inch pitch dimensions when evaluating alternative connectors.
