MTSW-106-12-G-D-460

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-106-12-G-D-460 is a flexible board stacking header from Samtec's Flex Stack series, designed for board-to-board and cable applications. It features a 2-row configuration with 12 positions and a 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch. The connector utilizes through-hole solder termination with a vertical mounting angle. Key electrical parameters include gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts and a polyester insulation housing rated UL 94 V-0. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, with a fixed tail length of 2.79 mm and a stacking height of 0.46 in.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '-460' against the official Samtec datasheet to confirm the exact tail length and stacking height specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint and mating connector requirements before procurement. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status and material certifications as needed for your supply chain documentation.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a flexible stacking solution with a fixed tail length is required for 12-position interfaces. Consider the 2.54 mm pitch and vertical orientation for standard PCB layouts. Evaluate the thermal operating range and contact plating thickness against environmental conditions and current load requirements to ensure long-term reliability.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series of flexible board stacking headers by Samtec. It shares design characteristics with similar models like DW-20-10-G-D-460 but differs in position count and specific dimensions. The series is known for providing reliable interconnects in compact spaces while maintaining flexibility during assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Samtec MTSW variants with matching 12-position counts and compatible tail lengths. Verify pinout and mechanical dimensions before substitution.
