MTSW-103-22-H-S-430

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-103-22-H-S-430 is a Variable Height PCB Header Strip manufactured by Samtec Inc. It features a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch and utilizes a .025 inch (.635 mm) square post contact system. The connector is configured as a single row with three contacts, designed for vertical orientation and through-hole termination. The suffix 'H' indicates high-temperature construction suitable for demanding board processing environments.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design allows modified post height and body position in .005 inch increments
• High-temperature construction suitable for most high-temperature board processing
• Square post contact system provides reliable mechanical retention

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• High-temperature board processing applications
• Variable height PCB header requirements
• Automotive A-Series product integration

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific terminal length configuration required for the application, as the MTSW series offers fourteen terminal lengths to satisfy various needs. Confirm that the high-temperature rating aligns with the thermal profile of the assembly process. Ensure the vertical orientation matches the board layout constraints before finalizing the order.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when variable height adjustment is necessary within a high-temperature environment. The Flex Stack design enables precise positioning adjustments in small increments. Compare against standard TSW headers if temperature resistance is not a primary requirement. Verify the single-row configuration meets the pin count needs for the specific circuit interface.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series, which is a variation on the classic 0.100 inch pitch TSW header strip. The series is characterized by its wide range of overall pin lengths and flexible stacking capabilities. It serves as a specialized solution for designs requiring both mechanical adjustability and thermal durability.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Standard TSW headers may serve as substitutes if high-temperature performance is not required. Other MTSW variants with different row counts or orientations can replace this part if the contact quantity or angle differs. Verify compatibility with mating sockets before substitution.
