MTSW-118-10-S-D-620

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-118-10-S-D-620 is a flexible surface mount board stacking header from the Samtec Flex Stack series. It features a 2.54 mm (0.100 in) pitch with 36 positions arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes solder pin termination and offers a vertical mounting angle. Key electrical specifications include a current rating of 3.0 A per contact and a data rate capability of up to 8 Gb/s. The operating temperature range spans from -55 °C to +125 °C. The housing is constructed from liquid crystal polymer (LCP) with a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, while contacts are made of phosphor bronze with tin plating.
