MTSW-101-07-T-S-130

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-101-07-T-S-130 is a variable height PCB header strip manufactured by Samtec Inc. It features a .100" (2.54 mm) pitch and utilizes modified .025" (.635 mm) square posts to allow for custom post heights in .005" (.13 mm) increments. This component is designed as a single-row, through-hole termination connector with male pin contacts made of phosphor bronze and matte tin over nickel plating. The housing is constructed from black polyester material rated UL 94 V-0. It supports board-to-board and cable applications within an operating temperature range of -55°C to +105°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design enables customizable post heights and body positioning in precise increments
• Modified .025" square post system provides extensive stacking flexibility
• Through-hole solder pin termination ensures secure board mounting

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-Board interconnections
• Cable-to-Board connections
• Stacked circuit assembly

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific post height configuration required for the application, as the MTSW series allows for custom modifications. Confirm that the matte tin over nickel contact finish meets the environmental and conductivity requirements. Ensure the phosphor bronze contact material is suitable for the intended current load. Check compatibility with mating connectors such as SSW or SSQ strips. Validate that the polyester housing flammability rating aligns with safety standards.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when standard fixed-height headers do not accommodate varying board stack-ups or mechanical tolerances. The flexible post height adjustment simplifies assembly across different layer configurations. Consider the single-row layout for space-constrained designs requiring vertical orientation. Evaluate the through-hole termination method against surface mount alternatives for mechanical robustness needs.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series, which is a variation of the classic TSW header strip family. The series offers a wide range of overall pin lengths to satisfy diverse application requirements. It maintains the industry-standard .100" pitch while providing enhanced mechanical adaptability through its modified post system.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible mates include SSW socket strips and SSQ double row sockets. Verify dimensional compatibility with existing board layouts before substitution.
