Overview

The TSW-120-08-G-D-RA is a dual-row, 40-position terminal strip header from Samtec featuring a standard 0.100 inch (2.54mm) pitch. This through-hole connector utilizes a right-angle orientation, making it ideal for perpendicular board-to-board mating or space-constrained cable-to-board interfaces. It is designed with gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for high reliability and is rated for operation up to 105 degrees Celsius.

Why Choose This Part

This header offers a high current rating of approximately 6.3A per pin, exceeding the capacity of standard commodity headers. The 10 micro-inch gold plating ensures low contact resistance and corrosion resistance in the mating zone, while the right-angle configuration allows for low-profile horizontal PCB integration.

Applications

Right-Angle Board Stacking
Connecting a daughter card at a 90-degree angle to a mother board in industrial control systems.
I/O Header for Embedded Systems
Serving as a robust external-facing connector for peripheral expansion on custom PCB assemblies.
High-Current Power Distribution
Utilizing its 6.3A current rating to deliver power between stacked circuit boards in power electronics.
Development Board Prototyping
Providing a standard 0.1 inch pitch interface for connecting logic analyzers or custom breakout boards.
