Samtec TSM Series Right Angle Surface Pin Header, 18 Contacts, 2.54 mm Pitch, 1 Row, Unshrouded TSM-118-01-L-SH

Samtec TSM-118-01-L-SH is a high-quality right angle surface pin header designed for PCB applications requiring 18 contact points arranged in a single row with a 2.54 mm pitch. The product features a robust construction with a liquid crystal polymer housing, which provides excellent mechanical stability and thermal endurance from -55°C to 125°C. Ideal for board-to-board and wire-to-board connector systems, this unshrouded header allows easy mating and solder termination for circuit board assembly.

The contacts are fabricated from phosphor bronze and plated with 0.25μm gold on the post for superior conductivity and oxidation resistance, with matte tin on the tail to facilitate soldering. Rated to carry currents up to 7A and withstand voltages up to 475V, this header ensures reliable electrical functionality in demanding industrial and electronic environments. The 5.84 mm mating pin length optimizes electrical contact integrity and mechanical engagement.

This SMT header is suitable for various industrial sectors including electronics manufacturing, communication equipment, and testing instrumentation. It supports flexible PCB orientations thanks to its right angle configuration.

The TSM-118-01-L-SH connects seamlessly with standard socket counterparts such as BCS box sockets and SSW/SSM socket strips, ensuring compatibility within existing systems. Single row, 18 contacts with 2.54 mm pitch. Right angle SMT surface mount with unshrouded design.

Liquid crystal polymer housing for durability and temperature resistance. Phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating for longevity and conductivity. Wide operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Solder termination for secure assembly.

Voltage rating of 475 volts and current rating of 7 amperes. Suitable for board-to-board or wire-to-board PCB connections. Explore more quality PCB Headers in the Electronics & Electricals category on EnvMart.
