Applications
TSW-212-13-L-Q is used in embedded computing backplanes, industrial motor control boards, and test fixture interfaces that require a mechanically robust 24-pin dual-row receptacle header at 2.54mm pitch. The through-hole vertical configuration provides superior pull strength compared to SMT alternatives, making it suitable for connectors subjected to frequent mating and unmating in field-serviceable equipment. Its gold-plated contacts ensure reliable connectivity in instrumentation and communications hardware over thousands of insertion cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact finish does TSW-212-13-L-Q use and how many mating cycles does gold plating support?
TSW-212-13-L-Q uses 10µin gold over nickel on mating contacts and tin over nickel barrier on solder termination. Gold plating at 10µin typically supports 500 or more mating cycles while maintaining contact resistance below 30mΩ, making it suitable for field-replaceable modules and test sockets that are mated and unmated repeatedly over the product lifetime.
What is the pin count and row configuration of TSW-212-13-L-Q for PCB layout planning?
TSW-212-13-L-Q is a 24-way dual-row connector with 12 pins per row arranged on a 2.54mm (0.100") pitch grid. The body measures approximately 2.3 inches in length and 0.3 inches in breadth, occupying a footprint that fits standard 0.100" PCB layouts. Designers can route all 24 signals through a single connector location rather than multiple smaller headers.
Why is through-hole vertical mounting preferred for TSW-212-13-L-Q over surface-mount alternatives in industrial environments?
Through-hole mounting provides solder joints that penetrate the PCB substrate, delivering tensile strength of approximately 50N per pin compared to 10-15N typical for SMT pads. For a 24-pin connector like TSW-212-13-L-Q, this means the assembly can withstand substantial mating forces and mechanical shock without pad lift, which is critical in industrial control panels, vibration-prone machinery, and field-connectorized equipment.
Which supply voltage and signal level ranges are compatible with TSW-212-13-L-Q header contacts?
TSW-212-13-L-Q is a passive interconnect rated for signal voltages up to 250V AC and currents of 3A per contact in typical board connector applications, consistent with SAMTEC TSW-series specifications. The 24 contacts can simultaneously carry 3.3V, 5V, or 12V supply rails alongside logic-level signal lines in a single connector body, simplifying backplane wiring in mixed-voltage embedded systems.
