MTSW-108-12-G-S-840

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-108-12-G-S-840 is a single-row variable height PCB header strip manufactured by Samtec Inc. It features a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch and utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating for reliable signal transmission. The component is designed for through-hole termination, offering a right-angle orientation to facilitate board-to-board or cable connections. With a rated current of 3A and an operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C, it ensures robust performance in various electronic assemblies.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design allows modified post height and body position in precise increments
• Square post contact system provides stable mechanical engagement
• Through-hole termination supports standard board processing techniques

Headers, Male Pins Applications

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

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact terminal length and contact configuration required for your application. Ensure that the selected variant matches the necessary electrical ratings and environmental compliance standards, such as RoHS and REACH, before finalizing procurement orders. Cross-reference the datasheet for accurate footprint dimensions.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when variable post heights are needed to accommodate different mating connector profiles or board stack-ups. The single-row configuration is suitable for applications requiring lower pin counts compared to dual-row alternatives. Consider the right-angle orientation for space-constrained designs where vertical clearance is limited.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series, which represents a variation on the classic TSW header strip. The series is characterized by its flexible stacking capabilities and wide range of available terminal lengths. It is designed to meet diverse application needs while maintaining standard pricing and delivery schedules for most configurations.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include MTSW-108-12-G-D-640 and MTSW-108-12-L-D-315-NA, though these differ in row count and terminal length. Verify compatibility with mating components before substitution, as changes in row configuration or contact material may affect electrical and mechanical performance.
