Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and rows does the TSW-212-20-L-Q connector provide?
The TSW-212-20-L-Q is a dual-row, 24-position (12 per row) through-hole vertical header with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. This configuration delivers high pin density across a 2.3 inch body length, making it suitable for multi-signal board-to-board interfaces.
Which PCB applications benefit from the TSW-212-20-L-Q's gold-over-nickel contact finish?
Applications requiring hundreds of mating cycles benefit most, such as test fixture sockets, modular computing modules, and expansion cards. The gold-over-nickel contact finish provides contact resistance below 20 mΩ and resists oxidation, ensuring stable signal and power connections over time.
Can the TSW-212-20-L-Q be used in industrial control panels operating across wide temperature ranges?
Yes, the TSW-212-20-L-Q is designed for through-hole PCB mounting, providing strong mechanical retention suitable for industrial panels. Its tin-over-nickel termination tails are compatible with wave soldering processes, and the connector supports typical operating temperatures from -55°C to +125°C as common for SAMTEC board connectors.
