MTSW-120-08-L-D-130-RA

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-120-08-L-D-130-RA is a variable post height terminal strip manufactured by Samtec. It features a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch and consists of two rows with a total of 40 positions. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating and a polyester housing rated UL 94 V-0. Designed for through-hole mounting, this right-angle pin strip supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Modified .025 inch square post system enables custom post heights in 0.005 inch increments
• Flex Stack design allows modified post height and body position adjustments
• Right-angle orientation facilitates specific board layout configurations

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Custom stacking applications requiring specific post heights
• Board-to-board connections with variable spacing requirements
• Through-hole PCB header installations

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix code to confirm the right-angle orientation and specific post height designation. Ensure the gold plating specification matches the application's conductivity needs. Confirm that the through-hole termination style is compatible with the target PCB manufacturing process. Cross-reference the housing material properties against environmental exposure requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when standard fixed-height headers do not meet mechanical clearance constraints. The variable post height feature accommodates non-standard board thicknesses or shrouding requirements. Verify that the right-angle form factor aligns with the intended signal routing direction. Ensure the contact current rating is sufficient for the specific circuit load.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series, which offers modified post heights compared to standard TSW headers. The series provides extensive stacking flexibility by allowing custom post lengths. It serves as a specialized solution for interconnects where precise vertical spacing between mating connectors is critical.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series require matching the row count, position count, and specific post height code. Generic 0.100 inch pitch headers lack the variable post height capability and are not functionally equivalent.
