MTLW-112-07-F-S-280

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTLW-112-07-F-S-280 is a vertical header connector from the Samtec Flex Stack MTLW series. It features a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch with 12 positions in a single row. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating, offering a 30.0 µin mating surface thickness and 3.00 µin post thickness. Rated for 5.2A per contact, it supports a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The housing is black liquid crystal polymer (LCP) with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. It employs through-hole termination and push-pull fastening.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary
