TSW-134-17-T-D

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Samtec TSW-134-17-T-D is a classic PCB header strip featuring 68 positions arranged in a dual row configuration. It utilizes a 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) pitch and employs through-hole solder pin termination for secure board mounting. The connector incorporates tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts housed within a polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulator, achieving a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. Designed for straight installation, it supports a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C and offers voltage ratings up to 550 VAC.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Features tin-plated phosphor bronze male pins for reliable electrical connectivity
• Utilizes PBT insulation material with UL 94 V-0 flame retardancy
• Supports standard 2.54 mm pitch board-to-board or cable interconnections

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-Board interconnects
• Cable to Board connections
• General purpose PCB header applications

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating and current ratings against application requirements, as datasheets may list multiple values. Confirm that the tin finish aligns with soldering processes and environmental conditions. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches the target PCB design. Check RoHS compliance details if restricted substances are a concern. Validate the operating temperature range against system thermal profiles.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 2.54 mm pitch male header is required for permanent through-hole assembly. The tin plating suits general environments but may differ from gold-plated variants used for low-signal applications. Consider the 68-position count and dual-row layout for space constraints. Evaluate the 5.84 mm mating length against stack-up height requirements. Compare against other TSW series options for different plating or row configurations.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Samtec TSW (Classic PCB Header Strips) family, which provides versatile interconnection solutions. The TSW series is characterized by its simplicity, reliability, and compatibility with standard 0.1-inch grid systems. Variants within the series differ primarily by position count, plating material, and row configuration, allowing designers to scale connectivity needs while maintaining consistent mechanical interfaces.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include TSW-134-17-L-D, which shares identical mechanical dimensions but features gold plating instead of tin. Other compatible parts within the TSW-134 series offer alternative plating options or row configurations. Verify that any replacement maintains the 2.54 mm pitch and through-hole termination style to ensure PCB footprint compatibility.
