TLW-103-05-G-S

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The TLW-103-05-G-S is a single-row male pin header manufactured by Samtec Inc. It features three positions with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes a through-hole mounting style for secure board attachment. The contact material is tin-plated phosphor bronze, and the insulator is made of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). This component is designed for general-purpose board-to-board or cable-to-board interconnections.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Single row configuration for compact layout
• Through-hole termination for mechanical stability
• Tin plating on contacts for corrosion resistance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General electronic equipment interconnects
• Industrial control systems
• Consumer electronics assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official Samtec datasheet to ensure correct pin count, row configuration, and plating specifications. Confirm that the required current rating and voltage withstand capabilities align with the system design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row header is required for through-hole assembly. Ensure the mating connector matches the 2.54 mm pitch and single-row format. Consider environmental factors such as temperature range and chemical exposure when evaluating the PPS insulator suitability.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the TLW series of standard height headers. It differs from the MTLW series which typically offers longer tail lengths for wave soldering applications. The TLW series provides a standard profile suitable for most standard PCB thicknesses and automated insertion processes.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 3-position, single-row, 2.54 mm pitch specification. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer compatible tin-plated contacts and PPS insulation. Cross-reference mechanical dimensions to ensure PCB footprint compatibility.
