TMS-116-57-G-S

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The TMS-116-57-G-S is a board connector manufactured by Samtec Inc. It features 32 contacts arranged in two rows with male terminal gender and straight installation orientation. The solder terminals utilize matte tin over nickel plating. The component is RoHS compliant and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C when equipped with tin plating.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Straight through-hole micro header design for PCB mounting
• Phosphor bronze terminals with matte tin over nickel plating
• Compatible with SMS, SLM, and RSM series mating connectors

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General-purpose board-to-board interconnection
• Embedded system signal routing
• Industrial control panel wiring

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm terminal plating type, as gold and tin variants exist within the HTMS/TMS family. Ensure the selected variant matches the required operating temperature range, noting that tin-plated versions are rated up to 105°C while gold-plated versions support higher temperatures. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly from the manufacturer's datasheet or authorized distributor documentation before finalizing procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this part based on the requirement for a straight, single-row compatible header with 32 contacts. The tin-plated version offers cost efficiency for standard environments, whereas gold plating is suitable for corrosive conditions. Verify that the mating connector belongs to the SMS, SLM, or RSM series to ensure mechanical compatibility. Check pitch specifications against the target PCB layout constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the TMS/HTMS/SNM series of through-hole micro headers produced by Samtec. These connectors are characterized by their .050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch and black liquid crystal polymer insulator material. The series allows for flexible positioning along the body length, supporting variable post configurations for customized circuit board layouts.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Samtec TMS series headers with identical contact counts and pitch. Cross-model compatibility exists with SMS, SLM, and RSM series connectors for mating interfaces. Verify pin count and row configuration match exactly before substituting.
