MTSW-104-11-S-S-280

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-104-11-S-S-280 is a Variable Height PCB Header Strip from the Samtec Flex Stack series. It features a 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch and a single row of four positions. The component utilizes through-hole solder pin termination with a straight mounting style. Contact plating is specified as tin, and the housing material is black polyester. The mating post length is 7.11 mm (0.280 in). Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to +105°C. The connector is unlatched and rated UL 94 V-0 for flammability.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design allows modified post height and body position in small increments
• Variable height configuration accommodates diverse board-to-board spacing requirements
• Through-hole termination ensures secure mechanical attachment to printed circuit boards

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-Board interconnections
• Cable assemblies requiring variable height headers
• Embedded systems with stacked module architectures

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Samtec datasheet to confirm contact plating and terminal length specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required operating temperature range and flammability rating for the target application environment. Cross-reference the pin count and row configuration with the design footprint before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 0.100 inch pitch header requires adjustable vertical positioning. The Flex Stack architecture supports precise alignment adjustments without custom tooling. Evaluate the available terminal lengths to ensure adequate engagement depth while maintaining the desired profile height relative to adjacent components on the assembly.

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 to satisfy various application needs. It is designed for high-reliability connections where standard fixed-height headers may not accommodate mechanical tolerances or stacking requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include MTSW-104-11-T-S-280 and MTSW-104-11-L-S-280, differing primarily by contact plating material. Verify that alternative variants maintain the identical 0.280 inch mating length and single-row configuration to ensure mechanical compatibility.
