Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS3 Compliance Requirements: Samtec TSW-125-07-F-D, TSW-125-09-G-D, and TSW-125-26-L-D are ROHS3 compliant. Amphenol ICC 94654-150HLF is RoHS compliant. The Amphenol ICC 69192-150 is RoHS non-compliant and unsuitable for applications requiring RoHS certification.

For Active Product Status: All substitute parts listed maintain active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support. The original Molex 0010892501 is obsolete and should be replaced in new designs.

For REACH Compliance: Samtec TSW series parts (TSW-125-07-F-D, TSW-125-09-G-D, TSW-125-26-L-D) are REACH Unaffected. Amphenol ICC parts do not specify REACH status in the provided data.

For Operating Temperature Range: Samtec TSW series parts specify -55°C to 125°C operating temperature. The original Molex part and Amphenol ICC parts do not provide operating temperature specifications.

For Contact Post Length Variations: Contact post length differs across substitutes. TSW-125-09-G-D features extended post length (0.400" / 10.16mm), suitable for applications requiring deeper board penetration. TSW-125-07-F-D and TSW-125-26-L-D provide post lengths closer to the original specification. Amphenol ICC 94654-150HLF offers the shortest post length (0.085" / 2.16mm).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace the Molex 0010892501 with any of these substitute parts?

A: Direct replacement is possible for all listed substitutes based on core electrical and mechanical parameters: 50-position, 2-row configuration at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with through-hole solder termination. However, minor variations in contact post length and insulation height may require PCB layout verification. Amphenol ICC parts feature kinked pins, which may affect insertion force characteristics compared to the original straight-pin design.

Q: What is the difference between the Amphenol ICC 69192-150 and 94654-150HLF?

A: Both are BERGSTIK® II series headers with identical electrical and mechanical core specifications. The primary differences are packaging (Bulk vs. Bag), RoHS compliance status (non-compliant vs. compliant), and contact post length (0.120" vs. 0.085"). The 94654-150HLF is recommended for RoHS-regulated applications.

Q: Why do the Samtec TSW parts have different part numbers if they are all 50-position headers?

A: Samtec TSW series part numbers encode specific variations in contact post length and finish. TSW-125-07-F-D has 0.100" post length with tin finish. TSW-125-09-G-D has 0.400" post length with gold finish. TSW-125-26-L-D has 0.126" post length with tin finish. Selection depends on application-specific requirements for board penetration depth and contact finish compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences I should consider?

A: All parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity. Samtec TSW series parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected. Amphenol ICC 94654-150HLF is RoHS compliant. Amphenol ICC 69192-150 is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs, ROHS3-compliant parts are recommended.

Q: What is the significance of contact post length variation?

A: Contact post length determines how far the solder tail extends below the PCB surface. Longer posts (TSW-125-09-G-D at 0.400") provide greater mechanical support and are suitable for high-vibration or high-stress applications. Shorter posts (94654-150HLF at 0.085") minimize solder volume and are suitable for space-constrained designs. Standard posts (TSW-125-07-F-D at 0.100", TSW-125-26-L-D at 0.126") match typical PCB thickness requirements.

Q: Can I mix substitute parts in the same assembly?

A: Mixing different substitute parts in a single assembly is not recommended due to variations in contact post length, insulation height, and contact finish. Consistent part selection ensures uniform mating characteristics, insertion force, and solder joint quality across all connector positions.
