MTSW-120-24-S-S-230

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-120-24-S-S-230 is a .100 in (2.54 mm) pitch through-hole modified header strip manufactured by Samtec Inc. This component features 20 positions arranged in a single row with male pin contacts. The terminal posts are gold-plated phosphor bronze, designed for reliable signal transmission. It utilizes a Flex Stack design that allows for variable post height and body position adjustments in precise increments. The connector is intended for board-to-board and cable applications, offering a robust mechanical solution for PCB interconnects.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design enables variable post height and body position adjustments
• Through-hole termination ensures secure PCB mounting
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts provide durable conductivity

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable to board connections
• General PCB header applications requiring variable height

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific post length suffix matches the required stack-up height. Confirm RoHS compliance status for environmental regulations. Ensure the single-row configuration aligns with the target footprint. Check for any lead time variations due to custom cutting requirements from reels.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this part when a standard 0.100 inch pitch header requires non-standard post heights. The Flex Stack feature allows customization without redesigning the PCB footprint. Consider the single-row layout for space-constrained designs. Verify compatibility with mating connectors using the same pitch system.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the MTSW series of modified headers from Samtec. The series offers a wide range of terminal lengths to satisfy various application needs while maintaining standard pricing and delivery structures. It is a variation on the classic TSW header strip, providing enhanced flexibility for board stacking scenarios.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MTSW series parts with identical pitch and contact count but different post lengths, such as MTSW-120-24-S-S-235 or MTSW-120-24-S-S-255. Generic equivalents may lack the Flex Stack adjustability.
