TSS-120-02-L-S

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The TSS-120-02-L-S is a .100" (2.54mm) pitch Shrouded Terminal Strip manufactured by Samtec Inc. It features a single row of male pin contacts with a total count of 20 positions. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contact material and offers gold over nickel plating on the mating interface, while the termination side employs tin with a nickel barrier. Designed for through-hole mounting, this component provides a general-purpose board-to-cable or board-to-board connection solution.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Shrouded design ensures correct alignment during blind mate applications
• Single row configuration simplifies wiring and assembly processes
• Gold over nickel contact finish provides reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General purpose board-to-cable interconnections
• Board-to-board connections requiring shrouded alignment
• Blind mate applications in electronic assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and termination type. Ensure the selected variant matches the required row count and position quantity for the target PCB footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are prohibited in the final assembly process.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this part when a single-row, shrouded header is required for precise alignment. Consider the .100" pitch constraint against available routing space. Evaluate the through-hole termination method against surface mount alternatives if board thickness or mechanical stress requirements differ from standard specifications.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Flex Stack TSS series, which specializes in high-density terminal strips. The series is characterized by its robust shrouded housing and standardized .100" spacing, widely used in industrial and commercial electronics for stable signal and power distribution.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include TSS-120-02-T-S and TSS-120-02-L-D for different contact materials or row configurations. Verify that any alternative maintains the identical .100" pitch and shrouded geometry to ensure mechanical compatibility.
