ZML-110-54-S-D-685-SM

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The ZML-110-54-S-D-685-SM is a board stacking connector manufactured by Samtec Inc. It features 20 contacts arranged in two rows, with a male gender and straight orientation. The connector utilizes a 0.05-inch (1.27 mm) pitch for contact spacing and a 0.1-inch (2.54 mm) row spacing. It employs surface mount terminals and includes guide slots for alignment. The insulator is black, and the component is shrouded.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Shrouded design with integrated guide slots for precise board alignment during stacking
• Surface mount termination style suitable for automated assembly processes
• Male contact configuration designed for mating with female counterparts

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnection in stacked electronic assemblies
• Mezzanine circuit connections requiring vertical space efficiency
• High-density signal routing between adjacent printed circuit boards

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating finish and material composition against the official Samtec datasheet for the ZML-110-54-S-D-685-SM variant. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and check for any specific handling instructions related to the surface mount terminal geometry. Ensure the selected variant matches the required shroud height and guide slot configuration for your mechanical design constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, surface-mount board stacking solution is required. The 0.05-inch pitch allows for high I/O density within a limited footprint. Consider the shrouded design if lateral alignment stability is critical. Verify that the 0.1-inch row spacing accommodates the trace routing requirements of the connected PCBs without causing interference.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the ZML series of micro shrouded terminal strips from Samtec. These connectors are engineered for mezzanine applications, offering a compact form factor with reliable electrical performance. The series provides various contact counts and row configurations to suit different density needs while maintaining consistent mechanical dimensions across the family.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include ZML-110-54-L-D-685-SM or ZML-110-54-H-D-685-SM, differing primarily in contact material and current rating specifications. Cross-series replacements like HTMS may offer similar spacing but differ in mounting type and profile. Always validate mechanical fit and electrical ratings before substitution.
