What are the key features of TSW-105-08-L-Q?
- 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) standard pitch for compatibility with breadboards and common female receptacles
- 10-position single-row through-hole vertical configuration for reliable PCB mounting
- Gold (10 µin) over nickel mating contact finish for low contact resistance and corrosion resistance
- Phosphor bronze contact material providing excellent spring properties and long mating cycle life
- RoHS-compliant construction meeting global environmental standards for lead-free electronics
What is TSW-105-08-L-Q used for?
The TSW-105-08-L-Q vertical pin header is widely used for board-to-board and board-to-wire interconnects in development boards, test fixtures, and embedded systems where a standard 2.54 mm pitch interface is required. Its 10-way single-row format is suitable for connecting peripheral modules such as sensors, displays, and programming interfaces to microcontroller boards. The gold-plated mating contacts make it a reliable choice in applications subject to repeated connector mating cycles or exposed to mild environmental conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact pitch of the TSW-105-08-L-Q and why does it matter for connector compatibility?
The TSW-105-08-L-Q uses a 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) contact pitch, which is the universal standard for DIP-footprint headers and breadboard-compatible connectors. This pitch ensures direct mating compatibility with standard female socket strips, ribbon-cable IDC connectors, and 0.1 inch-pitch breadboards without any adapter, simplifying prototyping and production wiring.
How many positions does the TSW-105-08-L-Q provide, and what current rating should designers expect per pin?
The TSW-105-08-L-Q is a 10-position single-row header. Samtec TSW-series contacts are typically rated for 3 A per pin at room temperature, with a contact resistance below 20 mΩ after mating. Designers should derate current capacity at elevated operating temperatures and should not exceed the per-pin rating when powering multiple loads through the connector simultaneously.
What contact plating does the TSW-105-08-L-Q use, and how does it compare to tin-plated alternatives?
The mating contacts are plated with 10 µin of gold over nickel, which provides significantly lower and more stable contact resistance than tin-plated alternatives. Gold plating resists oxidation and maintains reliable electrical contact even after hundreds of mating cycles, making the TSW-105-08-L-Q preferable over tin-finish headers in applications where signal integrity or long service life across many insertion cycles is important.
