MTSW-137-07-G-D-130-RA

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-137-07-G-D-130-RA is a Samtec Flex Stack variable height PCB header strip featuring a 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch and two rows of contacts. It utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze pins with a .025 inch square post system for reliable board-to-board or cable connections. Designed for through-hole mounting, this component offers a right-angle orientation to optimize vertical space within electronic assemblies. The housing is constructed from black polyester rated UL 94 V-0, ensuring flame resistance and durability across an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design enables modified post heights and body positioning in precise increments
• Right-angle configuration facilitates compact vertical integration on printed circuit boards
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure stable electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-Board interconnects requiring specific vertical spacing
• Cable-to-Board connections in dense electronic enclosures
• High-density signal routing in industrial control systems

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number against official Samtec documentation to confirm the right-angle orientation and specific pin count. Ensure that the required stack height matches the available options within the MTSW series. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material declarations prior to final procurement decisions.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when standard fixed-height headers cannot accommodate specific mechanical constraints. The variable height capability allows for custom stacking solutions without modifying the PCB footprint. Consider the right-angle form factor for applications where vertical clearance is limited but horizontal board space is available.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series, which are variations of the classic TSW header strips. The series provides extensive flexibility in terminal lengths and body positions. The MTSW-137-07-G-D-130-RA specifically integrates a right-angle design into this flexible platform, offering a specialized solution for complex assembly geometries.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other MTSW variants with matching pitch and row count but different heights or orientations. Verify compatibility with mating sockets such as SSQ, ESW, or ESQ series components before replacement.
