Samtec Inc. Header, 2.54 Mm, Through Hole, 12 Contacts; Connector Systems Samtec TSW-106-08-L-D-008

The Samtec Header, part number 79P7122, features a 2.54 mm pitch and is designed for through-hole mounting with 12 contacts arranged in 2 rows. It is compatible with various mating connectors including SSW, SSQ, SSM, and others. The header is constructed with a black glass-filled polyester insulator and utilizes phosphor bronze for the terminals, which are available with either gold or tin plating over nickel. This product operates within a temperature range of -55 ¬8C to +125 ¬8C when gold-plated, and -55 ¬8C to +105 ¬8C with tin plating. The voltage ratings vary depending on the mating connector, with a maximum of 550 VAC when mated with SSW. The current rating per pin varies based on the mating connector, with values ranging from 4.3 A to 6.3 A. The header is RoHS compliant and suitable for lead-free soldering, except for the TSW variant which is not lead-free solderable. Engineers should consider this header for applications requiring reliable board-to-board connections with specific voltage and current ratings.
