Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with the TE Connectivity 1-87527-3. Selection among substitute options is determined by specific application requirements related to contact post length and operating temperature specifications.

Molex 0022284134 provides direct functional equivalence with minimal dimensional variation. This part features identical 13-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration with through-hole solder termination. The contact post length of 0.120" (3.05mm) is shorter than the primary part, making it suitable for applications with limited PCB depth. UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance confirm regulatory compatibility.

Samtec TSW Series parts (TSW-113-14-L-S-LL, TSW-113-14-T-S-002, TSW-113-16-G-S, TSW-113-16-S-S, TSW-113-16-T-S, TSW-113-25-T-S, TSW-113-29-G-S, TSW-113-30-T-S) offer multiple contact post length options ranging from 0.110" (2.79mm) to 0.910" (23.11mm). These variants accommodate diverse PCB mounting depths and application-specific requirements. All Samtec options feature Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation material with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance.

Contact Finish Considerations: Parts with gold mating contact finish (TSW-113-14-L-S-LL, TSW-113-16-G-S, TSW-113-29-G-S) match the primary part specification. Parts with tin mating contact finish (TSW-113-14-T-S-002, TSW-113-16-T-S, TSW-113-25-T-S, TSW-113-30-T-S) provide alternative surface treatment suitable for standard soldering applications.

Operating Temperature Range: Samtec parts designated with "-14-" or "-29-" suffixes support -55°C to 125°C operation. Parts designated with "-16-", "-25-", or "-30-" suffixes support -55°C to 105°C operation. Selection depends on application thermal requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0022284134 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1-87527-3 in existing designs?

A: The Molex 0022284134 is functionally compatible for applications where the shorter contact post length (0.120" versus 0.154") does not create PCB clearance conflicts. Both parts maintain identical 13-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration with through-hole solder termination and push-pull fastening. Verify PCB mounting depth requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between Samtec TSW-113 variants?

A: Samtec TSW-113 variants differ primarily in contact post length, which determines overall connector height. The numeric suffix indicates post length: "-14-" (0.110"), "-16-" (0.310"), "-25-" (0.210"), "-29-" (0.910"), and "-30-" (0.710"). Selection is based on PCB depth requirements and application-specific mounting constraints.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: All identified substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance status, confirming regulatory alignment with the primary TE Connectivity 1-87527-3 component.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish variations (Gold versus Tin)?

A: Contact finish affects corrosion resistance and soldering characteristics. Gold-finished contacts (TSW-113-14-L-S-LL, TSW-113-16-G-S, TSW-113-29-G-S) provide enhanced corrosion resistance. Tin-finished contacts (TSW-113-14-T-S-002, TSW-113-16-T-S, TSW-113-25-T-S, TSW-113-30-T-S) are standard for conventional soldering applications. Both finishes are acceptable for typical PCB assembly processes.

Q: Do insulation material differences affect interchangeability?

A: The primary part uses Polyamide (PA) nylon with glass filling. Samtec substitutes use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials provide equivalent electrical insulation properties and mechanical strength for standard through-hole applications. Molex 0022284134 uses Polyamide material matching the primary part specification.

Q: What operating temperature range should be selected for my application?

A: Samtec parts support either -55°C to 125°C or -55°C to 105°C depending on variant designation. Select the temperature range matching your application requirements. The primary TE Connectivity part does not specify operating temperature limits.

Q: Are kinked pin terminations compatible with standard PCB assembly?

A: The Samtec TSW-113-14-L-S-LL features kinked pin termination in addition to solder termination. Kinked pins provide mechanical retention during PCB assembly. This variant is compatible with standard through-hole soldering processes.

Q: How does the number of positions loaded affect substitution?

A: The primary TE Connectivity 1-87527-3 has all 13 positions loaded. Samtec TSW-113-14-T-S-002 has 12 positions loaded. This difference does not affect functional compatibility for applications utilizing 12 or fewer positions. Verify position requirements for your specific application.

Q: Can these connectors be used in automotive applications?

A: The Molex 0022284134 lists automotive applications in its specification. Samtec parts do not specify automotive applications. Verify application-specific requirements and automotive qualification standards before selecting substitutes for automotive designs.
