MTSW-106-08-T-D-240

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-106-08-T-D-240 is a Variable Height PCB Header Strip from the Samtec Flex Stack series. It features a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch with two rows and eight positions per row, totaling sixteen contacts. The connector utilizes tin-plated phosphor bronze terminals with a 0.240 inch (6.096 mm) mating post length. Designed for through-hole termination in a straight orientation, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C. The housing is constructed from black polyester with a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design enables variable height adjustment in precise increments
• Modified .025 inch square post terminal system for reliable connection
• Through-hole solder pin termination ensures secure board mounting

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-Board interconnections
• Cable to Board connections
• General electronic assembly requiring variable height clearance

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific terminal length code required for your application, as the MTSW series offers fourteen distinct pin length options. Confirm that the standard tin plating meets your corrosion resistance requirements. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches the specified 0.100 inch pitch dimensions. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a constraint for your manufacturing process.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when variable height flexibility is needed without custom tooling costs. The Flex Stack architecture allows body position modification in 0.005 inch steps. Choose the T suffix for tin plating if gold is not required. Verify that the 0.240 inch contact length accommodates your stack-up height. Consider the straight orientation for standard vertical mounting configurations.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series, which serves as a variation on the classic 0.100 inch pitch TSW header strip. The series provides a wide range of overall pin lengths to satisfy various application needs. It is part of the broader Flex Stack family designed for flexible interconnect solutions.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MTSW variants with identical pitch and row count but different pin lengths. Cross-reference with TSW headers if fixed height is acceptable. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 0.100 inch pitch and through-hole termination style.

Headers, Male Pins FAQ
