Key Features
- 150-position rectangular contact array at 2 mm pitch in a compact 2.37 × 0.394 inch body for high-density through-hole board stacking
- Gold 20 µin over nickel 50 µin dual-finish contacts on both mating and termination sides ensure ultra-low contact resistance and long service life
- Phosphor-bronze contact material provides superior spring-back and mechanical resilience for reliable board-to-board connections across thousands of mating cycles
Applications
The TW-30-03-G-5-165-100 is designed for high-density vertical board-stacking applications in industrial computers, VME or cPCI backplanes, and embedded computing platforms that require 150 signal or power positions at 2 mm pitch. The through-hole mounting style provides exceptional pull-out strength, making it ideal for ruggedized systems subject to vibration and shock. Its gold-on-nickel finish ensures reliable contact performance in both commercial and harsh-environment deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TW-30-03-G-5-165-100 provide, and at what pitch?
The TW-30-03-G-5-165-100 provides 150 total positions in a rectangular through-hole vertical header at 2 mm pitch, spanning a body length of 2.37 inches and width of 0.394 inches, suitable for high-density backplane or stacking designs.
What contact plating does TW-30-03-G-5-165-100 use, and how does it benefit long-term reliability?
Both mating and termination contacts are plated gold 20 µin over nickel 50 µin on a phosphor-bronze base. This dual-gold finish delivers contact resistance below 20 mΩ and corrosion resistance superior to tin plating, supporting thousands of mating cycles in harsh environments.
Is TW-30-03-G-5-165-100 suitable for ruggedized systems with vibration requirements?
Yes. The vertical through-hole mounting style provides mechanical pull-out strength far exceeding surface-mount alternatives, and the phosphor-bronze contacts maintain spring force over temperature ranges from -55°C to +125°C, making it well-suited for industrial, military, and transportation applications requiring vibration resistance.
