MTSW-108-08-G-S-235

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-108-08-G-S-235 is a variable height PCB header strip manufactured by Samtec Inc. It features a single row of eight male pin contacts with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. The connector utilizes through-hole termination and push-pull fastening. Contact materials consist of phosphor bronze with gold plating, offering a mating contact length of 0.235 inches (5.97mm). The overall contact length measures 0.530 inches (13.46mm), while the post length is 0.195 inches (4.95mm). The housing is constructed from black polyester with a UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Operating temperatures range from -55°C to +125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Variable height design allows for flexible stacking configurations
• Push-pull fastening mechanism ensures secure board attachment
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts provide reliable conductivity

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable connections
• High-temperature processing environments

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Samtec documentation to confirm exact dimensional tolerances and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing assembly processes regarding the push-pull fastening style. Confirm that the operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the target application. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with current regulatory standards before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 0.100-inch pitch header requires variable height capabilities. The MTSW series offers flexibility in pin length selection compared to fixed-height alternatives. Consider the push-pull feature for applications requiring robust mechanical retention without additional locking hardware. Evaluate the thermal performance within the specified -55°C to +125°C range for suitability.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Flex Stack MTSW series, which serves as a variation on the classic TSW header strip. The series provides a wide range of overall pin lengths to accommodate diverse board stack-up heights. It maintains the standard 0.100-inch spacing while introducing adjustable height options for improved design versatility.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MTSW series headers with identical pitch and contact count but different pin lengths. Variants such as MTSW-108-08-G-S-xxx can be considered if height adjustments are acceptable. Ensure any replacement maintains the same push-pull fastening and gold-plated contact specifications.
