MTSW-116-08-F-D-150-RA

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-116-08-F-D-150-RA is a variable height PCB header strip from the Samtec Flex Stack MTSW series. It features a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with 16 positions arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating and a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) insulator rated UL 94 V-0. Designed for right-angle through-hole termination, it supports a maximum operating temperature of +125°C and a minimum of -55°C. The modified .025" square post design allows for custom post heights in .005" increments.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design enables customized post heights and body positioning in precise increments
• Modified .025" square post system ensures reliable mating with standard headers
• High-temperature LCP insulation material provides stability up to +125°C

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board stacking connections requiring specific height clearances
• Right-angle interconnections in dense electronic assemblies
• Customized terminal strips for specialized mechanical constraints

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact length suffix against your board stack-up requirements. Confirm that the right-angle orientation matches your PCB layout constraints. Ensure the gold-plated contacts are suitable for your signal integrity needs. Check compatibility with mating socket strips like SSW or SSQ series.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model when standard fixed-height headers do not meet mechanical clearance requirements. The variable post height feature allows for fine-tuning the connection depth. Consider the right-angle form factor for space-constrained vertical mounting scenarios.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the MTSW series, which offers modified post heights compared to standard TSW headers. It is part of the broader Flex Stack family designed for flexible board stacking solutions. The RA suffix indicates a right-angle configuration, distinct from straight pin variants.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include MTSW-116-08-F-D-xxx-RA with different contact lengths. Cross-reference with HMTSW series if high-temperature performance is critical. Verify mating parts such as SSW or ESQ sockets for compatibility.
