Key Features
- 3-position single-row right-angle PTH header at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch enables horizontal board-edge signal routing in space-constrained panel or enclosure designs
- Gold flash over 50 micro-inch nickel mating contact finish delivers reliable electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance over repeated connector insertions
- RoHS-compliant tin-over-nickel termination is compatible with lead-free wave soldering and selective soldering processes for through-hole production lines
Applications
The TSW-103-25-F-S-RA is used in panel-mount and edge-connector configurations on industrial control boards, hobbyist development platforms, and prototype PCBs where a 3-position right-angle header at 0.100 inch pitch routes signals parallel to the board surface. Its robust gold flash contacts and standard 2.54 mm pitch also make it a popular interface for JTAG programming headers, UART debug connections, and low-frequency sensor signal breakouts on embedded systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the right-angle orientation of the TSW-103-25-F-S-RA benefit PCB designs that must connect to a front panel?
The right-angle (RA) configuration routes the mating connector parallel to the PCB surface, which reduces the total assembly height by approximately 30 % to 50 % compared with a vertical header, allowing the PCB to sit close to a front panel while keeping the 3-position, 0.100 inch pitch connector accessible from the panel edge.
What gold plating thickness does the TSW-103-25-F-S-RA provide on its mating contacts, and how does that affect connection durability?
The TSW-103-25-F-S-RA uses gold flash over a 50 micro-inch nickel underplate on its mating contacts, which is sufficient for clean-room or indoor environments requiring tens of mating cycles, though applications exceeding 100 insertion cycles should consider a heavier gold plating option available in other Samtec TSW variants.
Is the TSW-103-25-F-S-RA compatible with standard 0.100 inch pitch jumper cables and ribbon connectors commonly used in embedded development?
Yes, the TSW-103-25-F-S-RA follows the industry-standard 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch for its 3 male pins, making it directly compatible with standard DuPont-style jumper wires, IDC ribbon cable assemblies, and crimp housings commonly used in Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and embedded prototyping environments.
