MTSW-118-07-S-D-240

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Samtec MTSW-118-07-S-D-240 is a variable height PCB header strip featuring a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch and 36 positions across two rows. It utilizes through-hole solder termination with a straight mounting style. The connector supports a maximum data rate of 8 Gbps and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. Contact plating is specified as gold, while the insulator material is liquid crystal polymer (LCP).

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Variable height design allows for flexible terminal length selection.
• Elastic stacking capability accommodates varying board heights.
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board connections
• General purpose electronic assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific terminal length configuration required for the application, as the MTSW series offers multiple length options. Confirm that the selected variant matches the mechanical stack-up requirements. Ensure compatibility with mating socket strips from the TSW or similar series. Check RoHS compliance status against current manufacturing revisions.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard fixed-height header is insufficient due to varying board thicknesses or assembly tolerances. The elastic stacking feature provides mechanical flexibility during insertion. Consider the 2.54 mm pitch for general-purpose connectivity needs. Evaluate the available terminal lengths to ensure proper engagement depth with the mating connector.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series of variable height PCB headers manufactured by Samtec. It is an evolution of the standard TSW header line, offering customizable terminal lengths to suit diverse mechanical constraints. The series is designed for high-density applications requiring reliable electrical connections in space-constrained environments.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Samtec MTSW variants with matching pin counts and pitch. Cross-reference with TSW headers if fixed height is acceptable. Verify that any replacement maintains the same contact plating and insulation material specifications for equivalent performance.
