TSS-110-05-F-D-RA

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The TSS-110-05-F-D-RA is a right-angle board-to-board header from Samtec’s Flex Stack, TSS series. It features a .100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch with 20 positions arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with gold flash over nickel plating for mating surfaces and matte tin for termination. Designed for through-hole mounting, it includes a four-wall shroud for alignment and protection. The insulator is constructed from natural PCT material rated UL94 V-0, supporting operation between -55°C and 125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Right-angle orientation facilitates compact vertical board stacking
• Four-wall shrouded design ensures precise blind mating alignment
• Gold flash over nickel contact plating provides reliable signal integrity

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• High-density board-to-board interconnections
• Blind mating applications requiring guided alignment
• Compact electronic assembly architectures

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating specifications. The standard designation indicates gold flash over nickel mating surfaces. Confirm that the right-angle configuration matches the mechanical layout requirements. Ensure the through-hole termination style aligns with the target PCB fabrication capabilities. Cross-reference the insulation material properties against environmental operating conditions.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when rigid right-angle connectivity is required within a constrained vertical profile. The shrouded housing eliminates the need for external guide pins during assembly. Verify that the phosphor bronze contact material meets the mechanical retention standards for the application. Consider the thermal rating limits when determining proximity to heat-generating components on the adjacent board.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the TSS series of shrouded terminal strips designed for robust board-to-board connections. The series offers various row counts and termination options to accommodate different density requirements. The right-angle variant specifically addresses space-saving needs in multi-layer stack designs where vertical clearance is limited.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Samtec TSS series headers with matching pitch and position counts. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same right-angle orientation and shrouded housing structure. Ensure compatibility with existing mating socket strips such as the ESQ or SMSD series.
