Samtec TSW Series Straight Through Hole Pin Header 36 Contacts 2.54 mm Pitch 2 Row Unshrouded Gold-Plated TSW-118-07-G-D

The Samtec TSW-118-07-G-D is a high-quality straight through hole pin header engineered to provide a dependable interconnection for printed circuit boards (PCBs) in a wide range of electronics and industrial applications. This model features a standard 2.54 mm pitch, making it compatible with most industry PCBs and prototyping boards, and comes equipped with 36 individual contacts with a dual row unshrouded configuration.

The pin header uses gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for superior electrical conductivity, durability, and resistance to corrosion, ensuring long-term performance across years of use. Its housing is made of robust Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), a material chosen for excellent insulation and mechanical strength, providing resistance to wear and dimensional distortion even with repeated insertions.

The vertical, straight orientation is optimized for efficient through-hole mounting, allowing for secure soldering and straightforward assembly during PCB manufacturing or repair. Its dual row design increases contact density within a compact form factor, and the unshrouded type allows for simple mating with compatible female connectors, headers, or sockets, as well as easier inspection, cleaning, and rework when needed.

Engineered for demanding electrical environments, the TSW-118-07-G-D is rated to handle currents up to 4.3A and supports maximum voltages of 550V, suitable for signal and low-to-medium power distribution tasks. Suitable for operation at temperatures ranging from -55°C to 125°C, it is ideal for industrial, instrumentation, control systems, communications, automation, and laboratory equipment where reliability and robust electrical contact are essential.

Termination is by through-hole soldering, and the 2.54 mm tail pin length ensures proper board penetration and mechanical retention. The gold plating also facilitates high mating cycles, and the product is suitable for applications that require frequent connector engagement/disengagement.

This Samtec header offers flexible solutions for cost and performance optimization due to optional platings and ruggedizing features available within the TSW series. It can be used in a broad set of scenarios including testing, signal routing, and as a general interconnect platform for diverse PCB hardware assemblies.

For all your professional electronics, test, and automation projects requiring reliable interconnection, the Samtec TSW-118-07-G-D pin header ensures quality, longevity, and compatibility with industry standards.
