MTLW-140-05-S-S-180

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTLW-140-05-S-S-180 is a single-row pin header from the Samtec Flex Stack MTLW series, designed for board-to-board connections. It features a 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch with 40 positions and utilizes through-hole solder termination. The connector employs phosphor bronze contacts with tin plating, housed in a black liquid crystal polymer (LCP) body rated UL 94 V-0. It supports a current rating of 5.2 A per contact and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C. The mating post height is specified at 3.302 mm (0.13 in), while the solder tail length measures 3.688 mm (0.145 in).

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Samtec documentation to ensure correct mating height and plating specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors prior to procurement. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet to validate availability and lead times for your region.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, variable-height header is required for rigid board-to-board connections. Ensure the mating device accepts a 2.54 mm pitch and aligns with the 3.302 mm post height specification. Consider the tin-plated contacts for general-purpose applications where gold plating is not strictly necessary for corrosion resistance.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTLW series, which offers flexible terminal strips with variable post heights. The series provides options for various contact materials and plating thicknesses to suit different electrical and environmental requirements. It is distinct from fixed-height headers by allowing customization of the mating interface height.
