TSW-118-09-G-D-RA

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Samtec TSW-118-09-G-D-RA is a classic PCB header strip featuring a dual-row configuration with 36 positions. It utilizes a 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch and employs right-angle through-hole soldering for secure board mounting. The male pin contacts are constructed from phosphor bronze with gold plating over nickel, ensuring reliable conductivity. Rated for up to 400 VAC and currents ranging from 4.3 A to 6.3 A depending on the specific contact row, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The housing is made of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Right-angle through-hole termination for stable PCB integration
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Polybutylene terephthalate housing with UL 94 V-0 flammability classification

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board connections
• General electronic circuit prototyping
• Industrial control panel assembly

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the exact physical dimensions and termination style required for your PCB layout. Confirm that the gold plating thickness meets your specific environmental durability needs. Ensure the current rating aligns with your circuit's maximum load requirements across all 36 positions. Check RoHS compliance documentation if operating in regulated regions. Validate the right-angle orientation against mechanical clearance constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Choose this component when a standard 0.100 inch pitch dual-row header is needed for right-angle mounting. Consider the phosphor bronze material for its spring properties and conductivity. Evaluate the 4.3 A to 6.3 A current ratings against your specific application loads. Verify compatibility with mating sockets in the same TSW series. Assess the -55°C to +125°C operating range for environmental suitability.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Samtec TSW series, which represents classic PCB header strips designed for general-purpose connectivity. The TSW line offers various configurations including different row counts, pitches, and termination styles. This specific model emphasizes reliability through gold plating and robust PBT housing materials.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Samtec TSW series headers with identical 36-position, dual-row, right-angle specifications. Ensure any replacement maintains the 2.54 mm pitch and through-hole termination method. Verify that alternative parts offer equivalent current and voltage ratings.
