TSW-109-15-G-D

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Samtec TSW-109-15-G-D is a male pin header connector from the TSW series, designed for through-hole mounting. It features a 2-row configuration with 18 total positions and a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. The contacts are made of phosphor bronze with a 10 µin gold plating on the mating interface. The housing is constructed from black polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) rated UL 94 V-0. This straight-style connector supports board-to-board or cable applications within an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Provides flexible interconnection solutions via cuttable strip design for customizable circuit layouts
• Ensures reliable electrical contact through gold-plated phosphor bronze terminals
• Supports secure mechanical attachment using standard through-hole soldering techniques

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board connections
• General purpose electronic assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Samtec documentation to confirm pin count, row configuration, and termination style. Ensure compatibility with mating socket dimensions and PCB hole patterns. Check for RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to integration into production workflows.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 0.100 inch pitch male header is required for rigid board connections. Consider the two-row layout for higher density signal routing in limited space. Verify that the through-hole termination method aligns with the manufacturing process capabilities and thermal profile constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the TSW Classic PCB Header Strips family, which offers industry-leading design flexibility. The TSW series is characterized by its ability to be easily cut to length, allowing engineers to customize connector lengths for specific application needs without requiring custom tooling or minimum order quantities.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Samtec TSW headers with matching 0.100 inch pitch and 2-row configurations. Ensure equivalent contact material, plating thickness, and insulation rating when evaluating alternative sources for supply chain continuity.
