Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Samtec documentation to confirm the right-angle orientation and pin length specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thicknesses due to the variable height design. Cross-reference the RoHS and REACH status with current regulatory requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require a right-angle connection between two boards. The variable height feature allows adaptation to different stack-up requirements without custom tooling. Verify that the 2.54 mm pitch matches the mating connector footprint and that the through-hole termination method aligns with the manufacturing process capabilities.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series, which offers flexible terminal lengths for standard applications. It is a variation of the classic TSW header strip, providing modified post heights and body positions. The series supports various configurations to meet diverse mechanical and electrical interface needs in modern electronics.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Samtec MTSW variants with matching 0.100-inch pitch and right-angle orientation. Ensure the replacement maintains the same 2-position count and through-hole termination style. Verify that the contact material and plating specifications meet the original performance requirements.
