TSW-136-05-S-D

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The TSW-136-05-S-D is a board-to-board connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. It features a single row of 72 male pins with a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. The contacts are constructed from phosphor bronze and finished with gold plating over nickel for the mating interface, while the tail terminals utilize tin plating. Designed for through-hole mounting, this component supports vertical installation and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. It is classified as an Extended Life Product (E.L.P.) with high durability ratings.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Industry-leading design flexibility allowing selection among numerous lead styles, plating options, and pin configurations.
• Utilizes .025-inch (.635 mm) square post contacts for reliable connection stability.
• Provides multiple mating cycle options ranging from 250 to 2500 cycles depending on specific configuration.
• Offers optimized cost and performance through various electroplating choices.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General purpose board-to-board interconnections
• High-reliability industrial electronics assemblies
• Automotive A-series applications

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Samtec documentation to confirm exact contact length, plating thickness, and termination style. Ensure the selected variant matches the required voltage rating and current capacity for the target application. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to procurement to align with assembly process requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 0.100-inch pitch through-hole header is required for rigid PCB connections. Consider the E.L.P. designation for environments demanding extended service life and higher mating durability. Evaluate the available terminal lengths and plating options to balance mechanical retention needs with electrical conductivity requirements for the specific circuit design.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the TSW series of classic PCB header strips produced by Samtec. The series is characterized by its versatility in offering various pin counts, row configurations, and mounting angles. These headers are widely used in electronic manufacturing for creating secure electrical pathways between boards or components using standard soldering techniques.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Samtec TSW variants with identical pitch and contact count but different plating or terminal lengths. Cross-brand replacements require matching the 2.54 mm pitch, 72-pin configuration, and through-hole mounting style. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before substituting with generic equivalents.
