Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' against official Samtec documentation to confirm its exact functional impact, as ordering suffixes may alter specifications. Ensure compatibility with the intended PCB layout and mating connector requirements before procurement. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet revision to confirm current manufacturing status and availability constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when high-current density and right-angle mounting are required for board stacking. The 1.27 mm pitch allows for compact designs while maintaining 40A capacity. Consider the surface mount termination style for automated assembly processes. Verify that the four-row configuration meets the necessary I/O count for the target application without exceeding spatial constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the SEAM series by Samtec Inc., specifically categorized under board stacking connectors. It is distinct from the vertical or through-hole variants like the PETC-01-40-01-01-L-VT-LC. The RA designation indicates a right-angle form factor, differentiating it from straight configurations. It serves as a specialized interconnect solution for high-power signal transmission in stacked module architectures.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Users should consult Samtec's official cross-reference tools or datasheets for potential alternatives. Direct replacement requires matching the 160-contact count, 1.27 mm pitch, and right-angle surface mount characteristics.
