What are the key features of HTSW-120-08-L-S-RA?
- 20-position single-row 2.54 mm pitch right-angle (RA) through-hole header for horizontal PCB-edge cable mating
- Gold (Au) contact finish on mating surfaces for low contact resistance under 10 mΩ and extended mating cycle life
- Phosphor bronze contacts with Tin-over-Nickel barrier termination providing corrosion resistance and reliable solderability
What is HTSW-120-08-L-S-RA used for?
The HTSW-120-08-L-S-RA is suited for panel-edge connector applications in development boards, test fixtures, and embedded systems where a right-angle 20-pin header allows horizontal cable exit parallel to the PCB surface. Its 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch makes it compatible with standard jumper wire assemblies and ribbon cables used in prototyping and low-volume production of industrial I/O modules. The gold mating contact finish ensures consistent electrical performance across the rated mating cycles, ideal for lab equipment and data acquisition boards requiring frequent cable reconnection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact finish does HTSW-120-08-L-S-RA use and how does it affect connector longevity?
The HTSW-120-08-L-S-RA uses Gold (Au) plating on the mating contacts with a Tin (Sn) over Nickel (Ni) barrier on the solder termination pins, providing contact resistance below 10 mΩ and supporting over 50 mating cycles without measurable degradation in signal integrity.
For a right-angle PCB edge connector, how does the HTSW-120-08-L-S-RA mounting direction benefit enclosure designs?
The right-angle (RA) orientation allows the 20-position 2.54 mm pitch header to exit cable connectors horizontally from the board edge, fitting flush-mount panel cutouts and reducing connector height above the PCB to 0.16 inch versus 0.3 inch for vertical headers, enabling thinner enclosures.
Which ribbon cable or jumper wire assemblies mate with the HTSW-120-08-L-S-RA at 2.54 mm pitch?
The HTSW-120-08-L-S-RA mates with standard 2.54 mm pitch single-row female housing assemblies using 22 AWG to 26 AWG wire, as well as 20-circuit flat ribbon cable connectors (IDC type) compatible with 0.100-inch grid spacing commonly used in legacy and prototype I/O wiring.
Is HTSW-120-08-L-S-RA RoHS-compliant and suitable for modern lead-free assembly processes?
Yes, the HTSW-120-08-L-S-RA carries RoHS-compliant (lead-free) status with Tin-Nickel termination pins rated for lead-free reflow at up to 260°C peak temperature, meeting IPC-A-610 Class 2 and Class 3 solder joint quality requirements for through-hole components.
