MTSW-105-08-S-S-300

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins, MTSW-105-08-S-S-300

Application Field and Working Principle

The MTSW-105-08-S-S-300 is a rectangular connector from Molex with a 105 pin count and a single row of 8 sockets and terminals for a signal. It is used in applications where a signal or power must be passed through a mounted board or it can be used as a standalone circuit board connector. As this is a single unit, the width of the single hole in a mounting surface is 0.100" (2.54mm) and the overall width is 0.260" (6.60mm).

Construction and Electrical Performance

The MTSW-105-08-S-S-300 is constructed using nylon insulator which is flame rated for UL 94V-0. Contacts can be either male or female and the pins can be manufactured in a variety of materials. Electrical performance of the pins are rated up to 250VAC at 10A and the overall performance of the connector is rated for up to 5000 mating cycles. The in situ temperature range of the connector is -40°C to +85°C.

Assembly and Disassembly

The MTSW-105-08-S-S-300 is equipped with a 2.00mm centre to centre pin spacing and is fully compliant with MIL and IEC standards in regards to mating and assemblies. It is important to note that the insertion force should be within the range of 25-35N and the extraction force should be within the range of 7-12N. To ensure safe mounting and disassembly the connector can be secured using screws or rivets as required.

Summary

The MTSW-105-08-S-S-300 is a rectangular connector from Molex and designed for the use in applications where a signal or power must be passed through a mounting surface or used as a stand-alone circuit board connection. It features a single row of 8 sockets and terminals for a signal as well as a mating cycle rating of up to 5000 and an in situ temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
