MTSW-102-08-T-S-280

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-102-08-T-S-280 is a variable height PCB header strip from the Samtec Flex Stack series. It features a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch and a single row with two positions. The connector utilizes through-hole termination with solder pins. Contact plating is matte tin over nickel. The mating post length is 0.280 inches (7.11 mm). The insulator material is glass-filled polyester, rated UL 94 V-0. Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to +125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design allows modified post height and body position in 0.005 inch increments
• Variable terminal lengths available to satisfy diverse application requirements
• Square post contact system for reliable board-to-board or cable connections

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-Board interconnects
• Cable connections
• High-temperature board processing environments

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify specific ordering suffixes against official Samtec documentation to ensure correct plating and length specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to assembly. Check for automotive A-Series availability if required by application standards. Validate pin count and orientation against schematic requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when variable post height adjustment is necessary for mechanical tolerance compensation. The matte tin over nickel plating offers cost-effective conductivity suitable for general-purpose applications. Ensure the through-hole mounting style aligns with the target PCB fabrication capabilities and thermal profile constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series, which serves as a variation of the classic TSW header strip. The series provides a wide range of overall pin lengths while maintaining the standard 0.100 inch pitch. It is designed for flexible stacking configurations in compact electronic assemblies.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include MTSW-102-08-G-S-280 for gold plating or MTSW-102-08-L-S-280 for low-cost options. Verify that alternative suffixes match the required post height and termination type before substitution.
