TMS-109-51-S-S

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The TMS-109-51-S-S is a .050" (1.27mm) pitch micro header from the Samtec TMS series, designed for board-to-board interconnections. It features a single row of 9 male pin contacts with a straight through-hole mounting style. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze terminals finished with gold plating and an LCP black insulator rated UL94 V-0. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and supports a current rating of 5A per contact.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Single-row configuration with 9 positions for compact circuit layouts
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze terminals ensure reliable signal transmission
• Straight through-hole soldering provides secure mechanical attachment
• LCP insulation material offers high thermal stability and flame resistance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects in compact electronic assemblies
• High-density signal routing in industrial control systems
• Interfacing between daughterboards and motherboards in embedded devices

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Samtec documentation to confirm terminal length, plating thickness, and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with mating socket specifications regarding post height and alignment. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your assembly process before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, low-profile header is required for .050" pitch applications. Consider the straight mounting orientation and through-hole termination method for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate the 5A current rating and -55°C to +125°C operating range against environmental conditions. Verify that the 9-position count matches the design requirements without needing multi-row configurations.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the TMS series of micro headers, characterized by .050" spacing and variable post heights. It is distinct from HMTMS or MTMS variants which offer different post configurations or polarization options. The TMS series focuses on standard unshrouded header applications with straightforward mating interfaces.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Samtec TMS series parts with identical pitch and position counts, such as TMS-109-51-G-S or TMS-109-51-T-S, provided terminal material and plating differences are acceptable. Cross-manufacturer replacements require matching 1.27mm pitch, 9-position count, and through-hole mounting characteristics.
