Key Features
- 24-way dual-row vertical THT header with 5.08 mm (0.200") pitch, accommodating high-current or multi-signal board connections in standard 0.200" grid layouts
- Gold-over-nickel contact finish on both mating and termination surfaces delivers low contact resistance and extended cycle life exceeding 500 insertion cycles
- Through-hole vertical mounting with 2.3" body length provides strong mechanical retention on PCB, withstanding vibration and shock in industrial and harsh-environment applications
Applications
The TSW-212-26-G-D is used in industrial control panels, power distribution boards, and test equipment where a reliable 24-position through-hole vertical header is needed for board-to-board or wire-to-board connections at 5.08 mm pitch. Its dual-row layout supports mixed power and signal routing, making it suitable for PLC expansion modules, motor drive interface boards, and embedded system backplanes. The gold-plated contacts ensure signal integrity over long service intervals in vibration-prone environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and contact count does the TSW-212-26-G-D header provide for through-hole board connections?
The TSW-212-26-G-D features a 5.08 mm (0.200") pitch dual-row vertical header with 24 total contacts arranged in 2 rows of 12. The 2.3" body length and through-hole mounting style provide strong mechanical anchoring on standard FR4 PCBs commonly used in industrial and test equipment designs.
How does the gold-over-nickel contact plating on TSW-212-26-G-D improve connector longevity in industrial environments?
Gold-over-nickel plating on both mating and termination contacts provides corrosion resistance in humid or chemically active environments while maintaining contact resistance typically below 20 mΩ. The nickel barrier prevents gold migration at solder joints, and the gold flash ensures reliable mating over at least 500 insertion/extraction cycles in standard testing per IEC 60512.
For a PLC expansion backplane needing 24 signals at 5.08 mm pitch, when is TSW-212-26-G-D preferred over a single-row header?
The dual-row configuration of TSW-212-26-G-D reduces PCB edge length by approximately 50% compared to a 24-way single-row header at the same 5.08 mm pitch, fitting 12 positions per row in just 55.9 mm versus 121.9 mm for single-row. This compactness is critical for DIN-rail mounted PLCs and other width-constrained panel applications.
