MTSW-118-08-G-D-315

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-118-08-G-D-315 is a Samtec Flex Stack variable height PCB header strip featuring a 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch and 36 positions across two rows. Designed for through-hole mounting, it utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts housed in polyester insulation rated UL 94 V-0. The component supports vertical or right-angle installation with a fixed tail length of 7.62 mm (0.3 in). It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and is packaged in bulk.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Features an elastic stacking design allowing for flexible board-to-board connections
• Provides variable pin heights available in multiple configurations to accommodate different stack-up requirements
• Utilizes .025 inch square contact systems for reliable mating performance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-Board interconnects
• Cable assemblies
• High-density electronic modules

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official Samtec documentation to confirm the exact terminal length configuration. Ensure the selected variant matches the required mechanical stack-up height for the target application. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material specifications prior to integration into the final product design.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when standard fixed-height headers do not meet the mechanical tolerance requirements of the assembly. The variable height capability allows for compensation in board thickness variations. Verify that the operating temperature range and current ratings align with the system's electrical and environmental constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series, which serves as a variable-height variant of the classic TSW header strips. The series offers a wide range of total terminal lengths to satisfy diverse packaging needs. It is designed for applications requiring precise alignment and robust mechanical stability in compact electronic enclosures.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MTSW series headers with identical pitch and position counts but different terminal lengths. Cross-reference the specific suffix codes to ensure mechanical compatibility. Generic equivalents may lack the proprietary elastic stacking features.
