MTSW-136-09-G-D-325-RA

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-136-09-G-D-325-RA is a board stacking connector from the Samtec Flex Stack series, designed as a variable height PCB header strip. It features a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pin pitch with 72 positions arranged in two rows. The component utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with gold over nickel plating and employs a right-angle through-hole termination style. The modified .025-inch square post design allows for custom post heights to accommodate varying board stack-up requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Modified .025-inch square post headers permit custom post heights for flexible stacking configurations
• Flex Stack design enables precise body positioning adjustments in small increments
• Gold over nickel contact plating ensures reliable electrical performance and corrosion resistance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections requiring variable height clearance
• Cable connections using compatible mating strips such as IDSD or IDSS
• Stacked circuit board assemblies needing customized vertical spacing

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific post height code within the part number against your mechanical stack-up requirements. Confirm that the right-angle orientation matches your PCB layout constraints. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors listed in the official datasheet, such as SSW, SSQ, ESW, ESQ, BCS, BSW, CES, SLW, HLE, or SSM series. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when standard fixed-height headers cannot accommodate specific board thicknesses or clearance needs. The variable post height feature allows designers to specify exact terminal lengths without custom tooling. Consider the right-angle form factor for space-constrained layouts where vertical profile must be minimized while maintaining horizontal connection paths.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series, which serves as a variation of the classic TSW header strip family. The series provides extensive flexibility in terminal length selection to satisfy diverse application requirements. It is part of Samtec's broader Flex Stack ecosystem, offering standardized pricing and delivery for customizable connector solutions across various industries.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating parts include SSW, SSQ, ESW, ESQ, BCS, BSW, CES, SLW, HLE, and SSM series headers. Cable mates are available in IDSD and IDSS types. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 2.54 mm pitch and right-angle mounting configuration.
