MTLW-136-07-T-D-260

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTLW-136-07-T-D-260 is a .100" Low Profile Variable Post Height Terminal Strip from the Samtec Flex Stack series. It features a double row configuration with 72 positions and a 2.54 mm pitch. Designed for through-hole mounting, it utilizes tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts rated for 5.2 A. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C and includes a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) housing.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design enables variable post height adjustment in precise increments
• Accommodates board-to-board stacking variations without mechanical stress
• Utilizes .025" square posts for reliable signal transmission

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects requiring flexible stack heights
• High-density electronic assemblies with vertical spacing constraints
• Retrofit applications needing adaptable connector profiles

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific mating post length suffix against your mechanical stack-up requirements before ordering. Confirm that the single-row or double-row configuration matches your PCB footprint exactly. Ensure the through-hole termination style aligns with your assembly process capabilities. Cross-reference the official datasheet for the complete dimensional drawing to validate clearance.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when standard fixed-height headers cannot accommodate manufacturing tolerances between stacked boards. The variable post feature allows for fine-tuning the connection height during assembly. Consider the current rating and temperature limits to ensure compatibility with the target application environment and load requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTLW series, which provides low-profile solutions for space-constrained designs. The Flex Stack technology distinguishes it from standard pin strips by allowing height modification. It serves as a critical interface component in complex multi-layer circuit board architectures where precise alignment is challenging.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MTLW variants with matching pitch and row count but different post lengths. Verify that any replacement maintains the same contact material and plating specifications to ensure electrical continuity and corrosion resistance.
