Samtec TSM Series Straight Surface Pin Header 18 Contacts 2.54 mm Pitch 1 Row Unshrouded TSM-118-01-L-SV

Samtec TSM-118-01-L-SV is a high-quality 18-contact straight surface mount pin header designed for PCB interconnections. It features a 2.54 mm pitch and a single-row layout, making it suitable for precise board-to-board or wire-to-board applications in electronics manufacturing and assembly.

The housing is made from a black liquid crystal polymer that offers excellent mechanical strength and thermal resistance to ensure durability under industrial operating conditions. The male contacts are fabricated from phosphor bronze and plated with 0.25 microns of gold on the post area, providing superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. The tail end of the contacts has a matte tin finish to facilitate reliable solder termination on PCB pads.

This pin header supports a current rating of 7 amperes and can safely carry voltages up to 475V, making it ideal for moderate power electronic circuits. It has a mating pin length of 5.84 mm, supporting robust mechanical and electrical connection with compatible sockets. Its operating temperature range spans from -55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for demanding industrial, commercial, and electronic applications.

The unshrouded design allows flexibility in mounting, and the straight orientation supports horizontal insertion onto PCBs via surface mount technology. These headers mate with various socket strips including TSW series and SSM surface mount socket strips, enabling modular and customizable system designs.

This product is essential for OEMs and electronics manufacturers requiring reliable, durable PCB connectors for industrial, laboratory, manufacturing, and commercial electronics assembly tasks. It offers a proven, high-performance solution for signal and power connectivity with longevity and precision.
