MTSW-120-09-G-D-130

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Samtec MTSW-120-09-G-D-130 is a variable height PCB header strip featuring a 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch and two rows of contacts. It provides 20 positions with gold-plated phosphor bronze pins designed for through-hole mounting at a straight angle. The component utilizes a black polyester housing with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The mating post length is specified as 3.302 mm (0.13 in). This Flex Stack series connector supports board-to-board and cable applications, offering unlatched termination.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Variable height design allows adjustment of terminal lengths to accommodate specific stack-up requirements.
• Flexible stacking architecture enables the connector to adapt to varying board heights and alignment tolerances.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable assemblies integration

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number against official Samtec documentation to ensure correct pin count, pitch, and housing material specifications. Confirm that the variable height configuration matches the required mating post length for the target application. Check RoHS compliance status and operating temperature ratings against environmental constraints before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when flexible vertical spacing is required between connected boards or cables. Ensure the through-hole mounting style aligns with the PCB fabrication capabilities. Verify that the 2.54 mm pitch matches existing footprint designs and that the gold plating meets conductivity requirements for the signal integrity needs.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series, which offers variable height options within the classic 0.100 inch pitch family. It serves as an alternative to fixed-height headers like the TSW series by providing adjustable terminal lengths. The Flex Stack branding indicates its capability to handle misalignment and varying assembly heights effectively.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MTSW series variants with different suffixes indicating varied total terminal lengths, such as MTSW-120-09-G-D-200 or MTSW-120-09-G-D-520, provided the electrical and mechanical interfaces remain compatible.
