TST-109-04-F-S-RA

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The TST-109-04-F-S-RA is a right-angle male pin header from Samtec's Flex Stack, TST series. It features a single row with nine positions and a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. Designed for through-hole mounting, this connector utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts housed in black PBT insulation reinforced with glass fiber. The shrouded design includes a keyway to ensure correct mating orientation.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Shrouded housing with integrated keyway for precise alignment
• Right-angle through-hole termination for board-to-board or wire-to-board connections
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable conductivity

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board assemblies
• General-purpose electronic circuitry

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Samtec datasheet to confirm contact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required row count and pin configuration for the target PCB layout. Cross-reference the part number with the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm current availability and compliance status.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, right-angle male header is required for dense PCB layouts. The single-row configuration suits applications with limited vertical space. Verify that the 2.54 mm pitch aligns with the mating connector or cable assembly requirements. Consider the shrouded design benefits for preventing misalignment during insertion.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Flex Stack, TST series of terminal strips. The series offers various configurations including different row counts, contact lengths, and termination styles. The TST-109-04-F-S-RA represents a standard right-angle, single-row option within this flexible stacking system designed for high-density interconnects.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Samtec TST series headers with matching 2.54 mm pitch and right-angle through-hole termination. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before substitution. Alternative manufacturers may offer similar shrouded headers, but pin compatibility must be confirmed.
