MTSW-118-09-L-D-450

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-118-09-L-D-450 is a variable height PCB header strip manufactured by Samtec Inc. It features a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with 36 positions arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes .025" (0.635 mm) square post terminals with gold-plated mating surfaces and tin-plated posts. Designed for through-hole right-angle mounting, it employs a Flex Stack architecture allowing modified post heights and body positions in .005" increments.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design enables precise modification of post height and body position in .005" increments
• Square post terminal system provides robust mechanical stability
• Gold-plated mating contacts ensure reliable signal transmission

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections requiring specific stack-up heights
• Right-angle PCB header applications
• Automotive A-Series product integration

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number against official Samtec documentation to confirm pin count, orientation, and termination style. Ensure compatibility with mating socket strips such as the SSW series. Confirm that the specified variable height configuration matches the mechanical requirements of the target assembly before finalizing procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when standard fixed-height headers do not meet specific board spacing or clearance constraints. The Flex Stack feature allows customization without custom tooling costs. Verify that the through-hole right-angle form factor aligns with the PCB layout and that the 0.100" pitch matches the mating connector specifications.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series, which offers variable height options within the classic 0.100" pitch TSW header family. It provides fourteen terminal length choices to satisfy diverse application needs while maintaining standard pricing and delivery schedules. The series supports automotive A-Series products and allows for flexible design adjustments.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Consult Samtec's official cross-reference data for verified substitute part numbers. Generic equivalents may not replicate the Flex Stack variable height capabilities or the specific square post geometry required for proper mating.
