TMS-122-54-G-S

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The TMS-122-54-G-S is a 22-position single-row male pin header manufactured by Samtec Inc. It features a 0.1-inch (2.54 mm) pitch and utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable signal transmission. The component employs a through-hole termination method with a straight board exit orientation, housed in a black polyamide insulator rated for 600V dielectric voltage. Designed for high-density applications, it supports continuous current ratings of 3A per contact and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure low contact resistance and corrosion resistance.
• Black polyamide insulator provides robust mechanical stability and electrical insulation.
• Through-hole termination facilitates secure mounting on printed circuit boards.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• High-density interconnects in industrial control systems
• Signal routing in telecommunications equipment
• Board-to-board connections in consumer electronics

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Samtec documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard PCB drill sizes for 0.1-inch pitch headers. Cross-reference the datasheet for precise mechanical dimensions and mating force requirements before integration into final assembly designs.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 22-position male header is required for through-hole mounting. Consider the 0.1-inch pitch constraint and the need for gold-plated contacts in environments requiring high reliability. Evaluate the straight orientation and black insulator color against panel aesthetics and space constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to Samtec’s TMS series of standard pin headers, designed for general-purpose electronic interconnections. The series offers various configurations including single and double rows with different termination styles. The TMS-122-54-G-S specifically denotes a single-row variant with 22 positions, catering to applications needing compact, reliable signal paths without complex surface-mount requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Consult official Samtec substitution guides for direct equivalents. Generic pin headers may match pitch but often lack verified current ratings or specific plating standards. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 0.1-inch pitch, through-hole termination, and 22-position count to ensure mechanical fit and electrical performance parity.
