TE Connectivity 5-826953-0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 5-826953-0 is a rectangular connector header manufactured under the AMPMODU Mod II series. This through-hole, right-angle header connector features 100 positions across 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, designed for board-to-board or cable interconnection applications. The connector utilizes male pin contacts with tin finish on copper alloy material and is rated for operation across -65°C to 105°C. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Equivalent substitute parts are necessary to address supply chain flexibility, alternative sourcing requirements, or specific application constraints related to contact material composition and finish specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 5-826953-0 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), number of positions (100), number of rows (2), mating pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), row spacing (0.100"/2.54mm), mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), termination method (solder), fastening type (push-pull), insulation material (PBT), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

The four Samtec TSW series parts listed below satisfy all mandatory substitution criteria. Variations exist in contact material composition (phosphor bronze versus copper alloy), contact finish specifications (gold versus tin), contact finish thickness, and operating temperature upper limits. These variations do not preclude substitution when the application requirements align with the substitute part's electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four Samtec TSW series substitute parts maintain Active product status and comply with ROHS3 specifications, ensuring regulatory alignment with current environmental standards. The TE Connectivity 5-826953-0 operates across -65°C to 105°C, while three of the four Samtec substitutes (TSW-150-08-G-D-RA, TSW-150-08-L-D-RA, TSW-150-08-S-D-RA) extend the upper operating temperature limit to 125°C. The TSW-150-08-T-D-RA maintains the 105°C upper limit, matching the original part's thermal specification.

Contact material and finish differences between the main part and substitutes reflect design variations rather than functional incompatibility. The original part uses copper alloy with tin finish, while all Samtec substitutes employ phosphor bronze material. Three Samtec variants (TSW-150-08-G-D-RA, TSW-150-08-L-D-RA, TSW-150-08-S-D-RA) feature gold mating contact finish with varying thickness specifications. The TSW-150-08-T-D-RA provides tin finish on both mating and post contacts, offering closest material alignment with the original part.

Contact length variations exist between the main part and all substitutes. The 5-826953-0 provides 0.264" (6.70mm) mating contact length and 0.126" (3.20mm) post length, while all Samtec parts deliver 0.230" (5.84mm) mating and 0.090" (2.29mm) post lengths. These dimensional differences require verification against specific board layout and mating connector specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether a Samtec TSW part can substitute for the TE Connectivity 5-826953-0?

A: Substitution eligibility is based on matching core mechanical and electrical parameters: 100-position, 2-row header configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, push-pull fastening, PBT insulation, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. All four listed Samtec parts satisfy these criteria.

Q: How do contact material differences affect substitution?

A: The original part uses copper alloy contacts while Samtec substitutes employ phosphor bronze. Both materials are standard in connector applications and provide equivalent electrical conductivity and mechanical durability for this connector class. Material selection does not preclude functional substitution.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish variations?

A: Contact finish (tin versus gold) affects corrosion resistance and contact resistance characteristics. Tin finish provides cost-effective performance in standard environments. Gold finish offers enhanced corrosion resistance in harsh or high-reliability applications. The TSW-150-08-T-D-RA matches the original tin finish specification. Selection depends on application environment requirements.

Q: Are the contact length differences critical for substitution?

A: Contact length variations between the original part (0.264" mating / 0.126" post) and Samtec substitutes (0.230" mating / 0.090" post) affect mating depth and board-to-board spacing. These differences require verification against mating connector specifications and PCB layout constraints before substitution.

Q: Which substitute part offers the closest thermal specification match?

A: The TSW-150-08-T-D-RA maintains the 105°C upper operating temperature limit of the original 5-826953-0. The other three Samtec variants extend to 125°C, providing broader thermal operating range if application requirements permit.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet current RoHS compliance standards?

A: Yes. All four Samtec TSW series substitutes carry ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental regulatory requirements. The original TE Connectivity part carries RoHS Compliant status.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these substitute parts?

A: The original 5-826953-0 maintains 1082 pieces in stock. Samtec substitutes show varying availability: TSW-150-08-L-D-RA (4797 pcs), TSW-150-08-G-D-RA (3371 pcs), TSW-150-08-T-D-RA (2102 pcs), and TSW-150-08-S-D-RA (1556 pcs). Inventory levels support supply chain flexibility across all options.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Interchangeability requires verification of contact length compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layout specifications. The dimensional differences in contact length necessitate design review before substitution in established applications.
