MTSW-150-10-L-D-480

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-150-10-L-D-480 is a Variable Height PCB Header Strip from the Samtec Flex Stack series. It features a 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch and provides 100 positions arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes a through-hole termination style with a right-angle mounting orientation. Contact materials consist of phosphor bronze with gold plating, housed in a black polyester body rated UL 94 V-0. The mating post length is specified as 12.19 mm (0.48 in). Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to +125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design enables variable post height adjustment for flexible board-to-board or cable connections
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Right-angle through-hole mounting facilitates compact vertical integration

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-Board interconnects
• Cable to Board connections
• General purpose electronic assemblies requiring variable height solutions

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Samtec documentation to confirm pin length, contact plating, and housing material specifications. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required operating temperature range and mechanical stress conditions for the target application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when standard header heights are insufficient for assembly tolerances. The variable height capability allows for precise alignment adjustments during manufacturing. Confirm that the right-angle form factor aligns with the PCB layout constraints and that the 100-position density meets the circuit interface requirements without exceeding current carrying capacity limits defined in the datasheet.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series, which serves as a variation on the classic TSW header strip family. The series offers a wide range of overall pin lengths to satisfy diverse application needs while maintaining the standard 0.100 inch pitch. It is designed for high-reliability connections in industrial and commercial electronics where flexible stacking heights are necessary.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include MTSW-150-10-G-D-480 and MTSW-150-10-F-D-480, differing primarily by contact plating type. Cross-series replacements require matching pitch, row count, and terminal length specifications.
