TSW-121-08-S-S-RA

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The TSW-121-08-S-S-RA is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., belonging to the TSW series. It features a single row of 21 male pins with a 0.100 inch (2.54mm) pitch. The connector utilizes through-hole right-angle termination for board mounting. Contacts are made of phosphor bronze with gold plating on the mating interface and tin plating on the tail. The insulator is constructed from black polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) rated UL94 V-0, supporting an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Right-angle through-hole mounting design for space-efficient board integration
• Gold-plated contact surfaces ensure reliable signal transmission
• Cuttable header construction allows for customizable pin counts
• UL94 V-0 rated PBT insulation provides flame resistance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

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

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Samtec documentation to confirm the exact contact plating and material specifications. Ensure that the required pin count and row configuration match the project design before procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to guarantee authenticity and traceability of the components.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, right-angle male header is required for PCB assembly. The 0.100 inch pitch is standard for many legacy and general-purpose interfaces. Consider the cuttable feature if variable pin counts are needed across different production batches or prototypes.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the TSW family of flexible stacking solutions from Samtec. These headers are designed for high-density applications where vertical space is limited. The TSW series offers various configurations in terms of row count, contact length, and plating options to suit diverse electrical and mechanical requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include TSW-121-08-G-S-RA and TSW-121-08-T-S-RA, which share identical mechanical dimensions but differ in contact plating materials.
