MTSW-108-07-F-S-140

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-108-07-F-S-140 is a vertical PCB header strip from the Samtec Flex Stack MTSW series. It features an 8-position, single-row configuration with a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. The connector utilizes square phosphor bronze contacts with tin plating and a black polyester insulator rated UL94 V-0. Designed for through-hole termination, it offers a total contact length of 0.360 inches (9.14 mm), a mating contact length of 0.150 inches (3.81 mm), and a post height of 0.140 inches (3.56 mm).

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design enables variable post heights in 0.005-inch increments to accommodate diverse board stack-ups.
• Through-hole solder termination ensures secure mechanical attachment to printed circuit boards.
• Tin-plated square posts provide reliable electrical connectivity within standard operating temperature ranges.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections requiring precise height adjustment
• Cable-to-board connections utilizing compatible receptacles
• General electronic assemblies needing customizable header profiles

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Samtec documentation to confirm exact terminal dimensions and material specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required operating temperature range and insulation flammability rating for the target application environment.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 0.100-inch pitch header requires non-standard pin lengths. The Flex Stack architecture allows customization without changing the base part number, facilitating inventory simplification while meeting unique mechanical constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This model belongs to the MTSW series, which extends the classic TSW header strip functionality by offering fourteen distinct terminal length options. This variation supports flexible design implementations where standard fixed-height headers are insufficient for specific assembly requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MTSW series variants with identical row and position counts but different terminal lengths, such as MTSW-108-07-T-S-140 or MTSW-108-07-G-S-140, provided the contact plating and current ratings align with system needs.

Headers, Male Pins FAQ
