Engineering Selection Recommendations

Samtec HTSW Series (HTSW-101-08-F-D-RA, HTSW-101-09-F-D-NA, HTSW-101-11-F-D-RA, HTSW-101-22-S-D-RA)

All Samtec HTSW-101 variants are active products with ROHS3 compliance. Selection within this series depends on contact post length requirements:

HTSW-101-08-F-D-RA: 0.090" post length for standard PCB applications
HTSW-101-09-F-D-NA: 0.309" post length for extended reach applications
HTSW-101-11-F-D-RA: 0.490" post length for maximum standoff
HTSW-101-22-S-D-RA: 0.190" post length, matching original 68463-602H post height specification

HTSW-101-22-S-D-RA provides the closest mechanical alignment to the original part with equivalent post length (0.190" vs. 0.110" original) and identical contact finish thickness (30.0µin). Operating temperature range extends to -55°C ~ 125°C.

Sullins Connector Solutions (PBC01DGAN, PEC01DGAN, PEC01DGBN)

Sullins parts offer active product status with ROHS3 compliance and extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C). Contact length at mating interface differs (0.318" vs. 0.230" original), requiring mechanical clearance verification. PBC01DGAN features gold mating finish; PEC01DGAN and PEC01DGBN feature tin mating finish. Post length varies: PBC01DGAN and PEC01DGAN at 0.100", PEC01DGBN at 0.200".

Primary Recommendation

HTSW-101-22-S-D-RA is the preferred substitute, offering active product status, ROHS3 compliance, matching post length specification, and identical contact finish thickness to the original 68463-602H.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HTSW-101 variants with different post lengths substitute for 68463-602H?

A: Yes, provided PCB layout accommodates the different post length. HTSW-101-08-F-D-RA (0.090"), HTSW-101-09-F-D-NA (0.309"), HTSW-101-11-F-D-RA (0.490"), and HTSW-101-22-S-D-RA (0.190") all maintain the critical mating interface specifications. HTSW-101-22-S-D-RA most closely matches the original 0.110" post length.

Q: What is the difference between Samtec and Sullins substitute options?

A: Samtec HTSW series maintains the original 0.230" mating contact length. Sullins parts (PBC01DGAN, PEC01DGAN, PEC01DGBN) feature 0.318" mating contact length, requiring mechanical clearance verification. Samtec offers operating temperature range -55°C ~ 125°C; Sullins extends to -65°C ~ 125°C. Contact finish differs: Samtec HTSW uses gold; Sullins PBC01DGAN uses gold; Sullins PEC01 variants use tin.

Q: Are Sullins PEC01DGAN and PEC01DGBN interchangeable?

A: Both maintain identical mating interface specifications but differ in post length: PEC01DGAN at 0.100", PEC01DGBN at 0.200". Selection depends on PCB application requirements. PEC01DGBN provides intermediate post length between PEC01DGAN and other variants.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect electrical performance?

A: RoHS compliance reflects material composition and does not alter electrical performance. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical characteristics: phosphor bronze contacts, square contact geometry, push-pull fastening, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

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

A: Contact finish thickness (measured in microinches) affects contact durability and mating cycles. Original 68463-602H specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold finish. HTSW-101-22-S-D-RA matches this specification. HTSW-101-08-F-D-RA, HTSW-101-09-F-D-NA, and HTSW-101-11-F-D-RA specify 3.00µin (0.076µm), providing thinner gold plating suitable for standard applications. Sullins parts specify 10.0µin to 100.0µin depending on finish type.

Q: Can 68463-602H be replaced with a vertical-mount connector?

A: No. The original part specifies right-angle mounting. While HTSW-101-09-F-D-NA is described as vertical in the product description, it maintains right-angle mounting type and is functionally equivalent to other HTSW-101 variants.
