MTSW-150-13-T-S-1040

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Samtec Inc. MTSW-150-13-T-S-1040 is a rectangular header connector designed for board-to-board or cable applications. It features a single row of 50 male pin contacts with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. The connector utilizes a through-hole termination method and employs a push-pull fastening type for secure attachment. Constructed with phosphor bronze contacts, it offers a rated current of 3A per contact. The housing is made from glass-reinforced polyester with a UL94 V-0 flammability rating, operating within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Variable post height design accommodates diverse mating requirements
• Push-pull fastening mechanism ensures secure connection retention
• High-temperature capability supports operation up to 125°C

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in high-temperature environments
• Cable-to-board connections requiring variable post heights
