Key Features
- 36-way dual-row vertical through-hole header with 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch for wide compatibility with standard PCB grid layouts
- Gold-plated (10 µin Au) contact finish over nickel barrier provides corrosion resistance and low contact resistance for reliable mating
- Vertical THT mounting with 2.3 inch body length supports high pin-count board-to-board and wire-to-board signal routing
Applications
The TSW-212-09-G-T is used in industrial control systems, test and measurement equipment, and embedded computing boards requiring a 36-contact dual-row through-hole header with high-reliability gold contacts. Its 0.100" pitch vertical orientation interfaces directly with mating socket connectors for backplane, daughterboard, and expansion card connections. The connector also appears in prototyping and evaluation boards where a stable, solderable 36-way header is needed for signal breakout.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pitch and total contact count of the TSW-212-09-G-T?
The TSW-212-09-G-T has a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and provides 36 total contacts arranged in a dual-row 12-position-per-row vertical through-hole header, compatible with standard 0.100" grid PCB footprints.
What contact finish is used on the TSW-212-09-G-T and why does it matter for signal connections?
The TSW-212-09-G-T uses a gold (10 µin Au) mating surface over a nickel barrier, providing corrosion resistance and a contact resistance well below 20 mΩ. This gold finish ensures reliable signal integrity even after repeated mating cycles in industrial or test environments.
For which board interconnect scenarios is the TSW-212-09-G-T a strong fit?
This 36-way, 0.100" pitch through-hole header is ideal for backplane-to-daughterboard connections, expansion card slots, and evaluation module signal breakouts in industrial automation, embedded computing, and test and measurement applications where a high pin-count soldered header is required.
How does the TSW-212-09-G-T body size compare to a shorter dual-row header at the same pitch?
At 2.3 inches body length and 0.3 inch breadth, the TSW-212-09-G-T is one of the longer headers in the TSW series, accommodating 36 contacts versus a typical 10-contact (0.5 inch) or 20-contact (1.0 inch) alternative, giving designers a single connector for high channel-count signal routing.
