Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number against manufacturer documentation to confirm the specific tail length suffix. Ensure compatibility with mating socket strips regarding overall height and contact engagement. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Confirm that the through-hole footprint matches the target PCB layout dimensions accurately before ordering.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard TSW header does not provide the necessary clearance or stacking height for the application. The variable height feature accommodates varying board thicknesses or shield requirements. Consider the current rating and voltage specifications relative to the system design. Verify that the gold plating thickness meets the intended cycle life expectations for the connection points.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series, which extends the classic TSW header line by offering customizable pin lengths. It serves as a versatile solution for interconnects where precise vertical spacing is critical. The series supports various configurations including single and double rows with different termination styles.
