MTSW-108-08-G-S-260

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-108-08-G-S-260 is a variable height PCB header strip from the Samtec MTSW series. It features a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and an 8-position, single-row configuration. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with 10µin gold plating for reliable signal transmission. Designed for through-hole mounting, it offers a straight orientation and includes a black polyester insulator. The part supports a mating post length of 0.260 inches and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design allows modified post height and body position in 0.005-inch increments
• Variable height capability accommodates diverse board-to-board spacing requirements
• Standard .025-inch square contact system ensures consistent mechanical engagement

Headers, Male Pins Applications

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

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific mating post length of 0.260 inches against the target assembly stack-up to ensure proper electrical connection. Confirm that the single-row, 8-position configuration aligns with the footprint requirements. Check RoHS compliance status and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings for regulatory adherence. Ensure the through-hole termination method matches the manufacturing process capabilities.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when standard fixed-height headers cannot accommodate varying board thicknesses or misalignments. The Flex Stack feature provides flexibility in adjusting the body position relative to the pins. Consider the 0.100-inch pitch compatibility with existing socket strips. Evaluate the operating temperature range against the environmental conditions of the final application.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series, which serves as a variation on the classic TSW header strip. The series is characterized by its wide range of available overall pin lengths, allowing designers to satisfy virtually any application need without custom tooling. It represents a flexible solution for rigid board interconnects where height variability is required.
