MTSW-105-12-S-D-765

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-105-12-S-D-765 is a vertical PCB header from the Samtec MTSW series, featuring a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch and 12 positions across two rows. It utilizes modified .025 inch square posts with a post length of 0.765 inches and an overall length of 0.830 inches. The connector employs a flex stack design allowing body position modification in 0.005 inch increments. Termination is through-hole with gold flash and tin plating on phosphor bronze contacts rated for 3A current.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex stack design enables variable pin height and body positioning adjustments
• Modified .025 inch square post terminals provide secure mechanical retention
• Vertical orientation supports standard board-to-board interconnection

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects requiring variable stacking heights
• Prototyping environments needing flexible terminal lengths
• General electronic assemblies utilizing standard 0.100 inch pitch headers

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 765 corresponds to the required 0.765 inch post length during procurement. Confirm that the gold flash/tin termination meets the environmental requirements for the intended application. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches the target PCB layout dimensions precisely.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 0.100 inch pitch header requires non-standard pin lengths or adjustable stacking heights. The flex stack feature allows for mechanical tolerance compensation without custom manufacturing. Compare against fixed-length TSW headers if variable height adjustment is not necessary for the design.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series, a variation of the classic TSW header strip offering fourteen terminal length options. It shares the 0.100 inch pitch characteristic but distinguishes itself through the modified square post design and adjustable body positioning capabilities provided by the flex stack architecture.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MTSW variants with different suffixes indicating alternative post lengths, such as MTSW-105-12-S-D-570 or MTSW-105-12-S-D-805. Generic equivalents may exist but must match the 0.100 inch pitch, 12-position configuration, and modified square post termination style.
