ZSS-120-05-H-D-890

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The ZSS-120-05-H-D-890 is a .100" (2.54 mm) pitch Shrouded Elevated Terminal Strip manufactured by Samtec Inc. This board stacking connector features a double row configuration with male contacts designed for vertical, through-hole termination. The component utilizes a Flex Stack design, allowing for modified post height and body position adjustments in .005" (0.13 mm) increments to accommodate blind mating applications. It is constructed with black glass-filled polyester insulators and includes shrouds to guide mating. The part is RoHS compliant and meets UL recognition standards under document number E111594.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Flex Stack design enables adjustable post height and body positioning for flexible board stacking
• Elevated shroud structure facilitates reliable blind mating applications
• Vertical orientation with through-hole termination for secure board mounting

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Blind mating applications requiring elevated connectors
• Board stacking systems with variable height requirements
• General purpose electronic interconnects

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating option associated with the 'H' suffix in the official Samtec datasheet, as plating variations exist within the ZSS series. Confirm that the required pin count and row configuration match the double-row specification. Ensure compliance with environmental directives such as RoHS and REACH is documented for the specific manufacturing batch prior to integration into final assemblies.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when blind mating capabilities and adjustable stack heights are required. The Flex Stack feature allows for mechanical tolerance compensation during assembly. Verify that the .100" pitch aligns with the target PCB layout. Consider the shrouded design for improved alignment during insertion compared to unshrouded alternatives.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the ZSS series of .100" Shrouded Elevated Terminal Headers from Samtec. The series is characterized by its ability to mate with various strip types, including SSW, SSQ, ESW, ESQ, SSM, and BCS. The ZSS line is engineered for high-density board-to-board connections where vertical space and alignment precision are critical constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating strips include SSW, SSQ, ESW, ESQ, SSM, and BCS type strips. Direct replacement parts within the same series require matching pitch, shroud style, and termination method.
