MTLW-118-08-F-D-355

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Samtec MTLW-118-08-F-D-355 is a .100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch low profile variable post height terminal strip featuring a Flex Stack design. It provides 36 positions arranged in two rows with male pin contacts. The connector utilizes tin-plated phosphor bronze terminals housed in black liquid crystal polymer (LCP). Designed for through-hole mounting, it supports a mating post length of 0.355 inches and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Elastic stacking design enables variable post height adjustment in 0.005 inch increments
• Low profile construction accommodates tight vertical clearance requirements
• Flexible header structure allows angular misalignment during mating

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections requiring flexible alignment
• Stacked circuit board assemblies with varying thicknesses
• Electronic modules needing adjustable vertical spacing

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Samtec documentation to confirm exact physical dimensions and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating components regarding post height tolerances and contact plating requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when variable post height flexibility is required for precise board stacking. Confirm that the 0.355 inch mating post length aligns with the target assembly stackup. Validate that the tin-plated contacts meet the electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance needs of the application environment.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTLW series of low-profile headers from Samtec. The series is characterized by its ability to accommodate slight angular misalignments and variable heights, making it suitable for complex multi-layer PCB designs where standard rigid headers would fail to mate correctly.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MTLW series variants with matching pitch and row count. Verify equivalent suffix parameters for height and plating before substitution.
