MTSW-107-08-S-D-100-RA

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-107-08-S-D-100-RA is a board-to-board and backplane connector manufactured by Samtec. It belongs to the .100" (2.54 mm) Modified Terminal Strip series, designed for high-temperature applications with variable post heights. This specific component features a right-angle mounting style and utilizes through-hole termination. The connector consists of two rows with eight positions per row, totaling 16 contacts. The contact system employs .025" (.635 mm) square posts with gold plating on the mating interface and a gold finish with a nickel barrier on the termination side. It is classified as a male header strip intended for general-purpose stacking.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design allows modified post height and body position in .005" increments
• High-temperature capability suitable for demanding environments
• Right-angle orientation for efficient board space utilization

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board stacking connections
• Backplane interconnects
• General-purpose electronic assemblies requiring variable height

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the exact pin count and row configuration against the schematic before ordering. Confirm that the right-angle orientation matches the PCB layout requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the high-temp specification. Check for any specific RoHS or REACH compliance documentation required by your supply chain standards. Validate the mating connector compatibility within the SSW, SSQ, ESW, ESQ, BCS, BSW, CES, SLW, HLE, or SSM families.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this part when a fixed-height header is insufficient due to mechanical stack-up variations. The variable post height feature accommodates tolerance differences between mating boards. Choose the right-angle variant if vertical clearance is limited or if a perpendicular connection is preferred. Ensure the .100" pitch matches the target footprint. Consider the gold contact finish for reliable conductivity in general-purpose applications.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component is part of Samtec's MTSW series, which modifies the classic TSW header strip to offer customizable post lengths. The series supports various orientations and termination styles. The MTSW-107-08-S-D-100-RA specifically addresses needs for robust, high-temperature connections where standard headers might not fit the mechanical constraints of the assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating connectors include SSW, SSQ, ESW, ESQ, BCS, BSW, CES, SLW, HLE, and SSM series sockets. Verify that any substitute maintains the same .100" pitch and square post dimensions to ensure proper engagement.
