Additional Details:

The TW-05-03-S-S-120-175 connector features a 0.8mm pitch which allows for high-density connections. It is a single-row connector with 3 positions (contacts). The "S-S" designation indicates that it is a single-row, surface mount connector on both sides of the connection. The "120" in the part number represents a 12.00mm stack height, determining the distance between the boards when connected. The "175" signifies a pin length of 0.175 inches. These connectors are often used in applications where space is limited and a reliable connection is essential. Consult Samtec's datasheet for precise mechanical dimensions, electrical characteristics, material specifications, and recommended reflow soldering profiles. Materials often include high-temperature thermoplastic insulators and gold-plated contacts to ensure durability and low contact resistance. These connectors are RoHS compliant.

The connector’s design ensures secure mating and reliable performance in demanding environments. Pay attention to the proper mating force and unmating force specifications to prevent damage to the connector or the connected boards. Consider using Samtec's recommended mating connectors to guarantee compatibility and optimal performance.
