MTMM-118-08-T-D-070

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTMM-118-08-T-D-070 is a board stacking connector from the Samtec MTMM series. It features 36 contacts arranged in two rows with a 2 mm (0.079 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes male pin terminals designed for straight, through-hole solder mounting on printed circuit boards. Contact plating consists of matte tin over nickel to ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The housing is constructed from black liquid crystal polymer (LCP), providing structural integrity and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. This component supports variable post height configurations within its series.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Variable post height header strips allow for flexible mating options with different board stack-up heights.
• Matte tin over nickel plating provides durable contact surfaces suitable for general-purpose applications.
• Liquid crystal polymer insulation offers high thermal stability and mechanical strength.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections requiring variable post heights
• General-purpose electronic assemblies needing reliable signal paths
• Industrial equipment utilizing standard 2mm pitch connectors

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm terminal length and plating specifications match design requirements. Ensure compatibility with mating female connectors regarding post height variations. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations. Check datasheet for critical dimensions such as bow and pin rotation limits during assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when variable post height flexibility is needed alongside standard 2mm spacing. Consider the matte tin plating for cost-effective solutions where gold plating is unnecessary. Evaluate the operating temperature range against environmental conditions. Verify that the straight through-hole installation method aligns with PCB manufacturing capabilities.
