Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 68032-136 is an active product with RoHS non-compliant status. All listed substitute parts are active products with RoHS3 compliance, except the TE Connectivity 8-146274-6, which carries RoHS compliant status. Selection among substitutes depends on specific application requirements:

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 (RoHS Compliant) or any Samtec TSW-136 variant (ROHS3 Compliant) are suitable. The TE Connectivity part features Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation and a 3A current rating specification, distinguishing it from other options.

For applications with extended temperature requirements to 125°C, select Samtec parts with gold contact finish: TSW-136-09-G-S, TSW-136-10-G-S, TSW-136-11-G-S, or TSW-136-23-SM-S. These maintain operating range of -55°C to 125°C.

For applications with temperature range limited to 105°C, select Samtec tin-finish variants: TSW-136-09-T-S, TSW-136-10-T-S, TSW-136-22-T-S, or the TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 (operating -65°C to 105°C).

Post length selection depends on PCB stack-up requirements. The TSW-136-23-SM-S offers the shortest post length at 0.115" (2.92mm), while TSW-136-11-G-S provides the longest at 0.600" (15.24mm). The 68032-136 and 8-146274-6 provide intermediate post lengths of 0.213" (5.40mm) and 0.125" (3.18mm) respectively.

Contact finish selection between gold and tin depends on application environment and solderability requirements. Gold-finish parts (68032-136, TSW-136-09-G-S, TSW-136-10-G-S, TSW-136-11-G-S, TSW-136-23-SM-S) provide enhanced corrosion resistance. Tin-finish parts (8-146274-6, TSW-136-09-T-S, TSW-136-10-T-S, TSW-136-22-T-S) offer standard solderability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 directly replace the 68032-136?

A: The 8-146274-6 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters for substitution: 36 positions, 0.100" pitch, through-hole mounting, solder termination, and push-pull fastening. However, the insulation height differs (0.090" versus 0.100"), and the contact mating length is longer (0.318" versus 0.230"). These differences may affect PCB layout compatibility. Verify board design accommodates the taller mating contact before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between Samtec TSW-136 variants?

A: Samtec TSW-136 variants differ primarily in post length and contact finish. The numeric suffix indicates post length: 09 = 0.400", 10 = 0.500", 11 = 0.600", 22 = 0.300", 23 = 0.115". The letter suffix indicates finish: G = Gold, T = Tin, SM = Gold mating with tin post. Select post length based on PCB stack-up depth and select finish based on environmental and solderability requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: All listed substitute parts carry RoHS compliance status. The 68032-136 is RoHS non-compliant. The TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 is RoHS Compliant. All Samtec TSW-136 variants are ROHS3 Compliant. If RoHS compliance is required, any substitute part is acceptable.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness differences?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and corrosion resistance. The 68032-136 and TSW-136-23-SM-S specify 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold thickness. Samtec gold-finish variants (TSW-136-09-G-S, TSW-136-10-G-S, TSW-136-11-G-S) specify 10.0µin (0.25µm). The TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 specifies 100.0µin (2.54µm) tin thickness. Thicker finishes provide enhanced protection in corrosive environments.

Q: Does insulation material affect connector performance?

A: Insulation material affects thermal stability and mechanical properties. The 68032-136 does not specify insulation material. The TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), which offers superior thermal and dimensional stability. All Samtec variants use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), which provides standard performance. Material selection depends on application temperature extremes and mechanical stress requirements.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a different operating temperature range?

A: Operating temperature range must align with application requirements. The 68032-136 does not specify operating temperature. Samtec gold-finish parts operate -55°C to 125°C, while tin-finish variants operate -55°C to 105°C. The TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 operates -65°C to 105°C. Select a substitute with operating range that encompasses your application's thermal environment.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these substitute parts?

A: Current inventory levels vary: 68032-136 (758 pcs), 8-146274-6 (3080 pcs), TSW-136-09-G-S (957 pcs), TSW-136-09-T-S (1010 pcs), TSW-136-10-G-S (834 pcs), TSW-136-10-T-S (652 pcs), TSW-136-11-G-S (1132 pcs), TSW-136-22-T-S (890 pcs), TSW-136-23-SM-S (743 pcs). Inventory availability may influence substitution decisions for high-volume applications.
