MTSW-106-07-S-D-240

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-106-07-S-D-240 is a modified header strip manufactured by Samtec Inc. It features a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch and utilizes .025 inch (.635 mm) square posts. The component is configured as a double row with six positions per row, totaling twelve pins. It employs a through-hole termination method for secure PCB mounting. The contact system is specified as gold plating to ensure reliable electrical performance. The overall post length is defined by the suffix 240, indicating a specific height configuration within the Flex Stack design family.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design allows modified post height and body position in .005 inch increments
• Gold flash terminal plating for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Through-hole termination for robust mechanical attachment to printed circuit boards

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections requiring variable stacking heights
• Embedded systems utilizing standard 0.100 inch pitch interfaces
• Industrial control modules needing flexible vertical positioning

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the exact pin count and row configuration against the schematic before ordering. Confirm that the gold plating specification meets the environmental requirements of the target assembly. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches the manufacturing capabilities of the PCB fabricator. Cross-reference the suffix code to validate the specific post length required for the mechanical stack-up.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this variant when a fixed-height header is insufficient due to board thickness variations. The Flex Stack architecture accommodates precise height adjustments without custom tooling. Compare the total assembled height against clearance constraints in the final enclosure. Consider the square post geometry for improved alignment during insertion compared to round pins.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the MTSW series, which modifies the classic TSW header strip. The series provides fourteen terminal length choices to satisfy diverse application needs. It maintains the standard 0.100 inch pitch while offering flexibility in post height. The product line supports automotive A-series applications where reliability is critical.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MTSW series headers with identical pitch and row count but different post lengths. Generic 0.100 inch double-row headers may fit mechanically but lack the specific Flex Stack adjustment capability. Verify that any replacement maintains the gold plating specification for equivalent contact resistance.
