TSW-102-08-L-T-RA

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Samtec TSW-102-08-L-T-RA is a classic PCB header strip featuring a 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch and a right-angle through-hole mounting style. It comprises three rows with six positions, utilizing male pin contacts plated with tin over phosphor bronze. The housing is constructed from black Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) with a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. Electrical ratings include current capacities ranging from 4.3 A to 6.3 A and voltage ratings between 400 VAC and 550 VAC. The operating temperature range spans from -55°C to +105°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Right-angle configuration for space-efficient board-to-board connections
• Tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable conductivity
• High-temperature PBT insulation material ensuring thermal stability

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-Board interconnects
• Cable connections
• General electronic circuit assembly

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating and row count against project requirements, as the TSW series offers various configurations. Confirm that the right-angle orientation aligns with the mechanical layout constraints of the target PCB design. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors regarding pitch and terminal dimensions.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle connection is required for compact designs. The three-row, six-position format suits applications needing moderate density without excessive height. Verify that the tin plating meets environmental or wear resistance needs compared to gold options. Check that the 2.54 mm pitch matches existing system standards.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Samtec TSW series of classic PCB header strips. These headers are designed for high flexibility with numerous lead styles, plating options, and terminal configurations. The series supports standard .100 inch spacing and is available in vertical and right-angle orientations, catering to diverse industrial and commercial electronics assembly needs.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include TSW-102-08-L-D-RA for a two-row variant. For identical specifications, verify availability of TSW-102-08-L-T-RA equivalents from authorized distributors. Cross-reference mating housing models to ensure mechanical fit.
