What are the key features of TSW-212-15-G-T?
- 36-way dual-row vertical THT header on 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch for broad compatibility with standard PCB grid layouts and mating socket strips
- Gold (10 µin Au) mating contact finish over nickel barrier delivers low contact resistance and long service life across repeated mating cycles
- 2.3 inch body length provides a single-connector solution for high channel-count backplane, expansion, and board-to-board signal routing
What is TSW-212-15-G-T used for?
The TSW-212-15-G-T is used in backplane and mezzanine interconnect systems, expansion card slots, and modular industrial control boards requiring a high pin-count through-hole header with gold contacts. Its 36-way dual-row vertical orientation mates with standard TSW-series or compatible socket connectors in embedded computing and test equipment platforms. The connector is also found in evaluation kits and prototyping boards where a reliable, solderable 0.100" pitch 36-contact header is needed for signal breakout and debugging.

Frequently Asked Questions
What distinguishes the TSW-212-15-G-T from the TSW-212-09-G-T in terms of specifications?
Both connectors are 36-way dual-row through-hole headers on 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with gold (10 µin Au) contact finish, but the -15 suffix denotes a 0.15 inch post length above the insulator versus the -09 suffix's 0.09 inch post, affecting the mating depth and standoff height for different socket or mating-connector configurations.
What is the contact finish specification of the TSW-212-15-G-T and why is it significant?
The TSW-212-15-G-T uses a 10 µin gold (Au) mating contact finish over a nickel (Ni) barrier layer, providing corrosion resistance and maintaining contact resistance well below 20 mΩ. This finish is significant for applications requiring reliable signal integrity after 100 or more mating cycles in industrial or test environments.
Which board interconnect scenarios benefit from the TSW-212-15-G-T 36-way header?
The 36-contact, 0.100" pitch vertical through-hole header suits backplane-to-daughterboard connections in industrial PLCs, expansion slots in embedded computing modules, and high channel-count signal routing on evaluation and prototyping boards where 36 pins must be bridged in a single compact 2.3 inch connector.
How does the through-hole mounting of the TSW-212-15-G-T compare to surface mount alternatives for reliability?
Through-hole mounting creates solder joints that penetrate the PCB, providing greater mechanical pull-out strength—typically 5 N to 10 N per pin—compared to SMT solder joints. This makes the TSW-212-15-G-T preferable in applications subject to vibration, repeated mating forces, or connector bodies that extend more than 5 mm above the board surface.
