Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS3 Compliance Requirements: All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original 75160-118-20 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection of any substitute part satisfies modern regulatory requirements for new designs and production.

For Active Product Status: All substitute parts maintain active product status with established supply chains. The original part's obsolete classification necessitates substitution for long-term availability assurance.

For Gold Contact Finish Applications: Select from TS-120-G-AA, TS-120-G-A-1, TS-120-G-A-2, HTS-120-G-AA, 800-10-020-10-001000, or MTLW-120-23-S-S-268. These maintain gold plating consistent with the original specification.

For Tin or Tin-Lead Contact Finish Applications: Select from TS-120-T-AA, HTS-120-T-AA, 800-90-020-10-001000, or 800-90-020-10-002000. These provide alternative finishes suitable for lead-free soldering processes.

For Extended Operating Temperature Range: MTLW-120-23-S-S-268 specifies -55°C to 125°C operating range with 5.2A per contact current rating, providing enhanced thermal performance for demanding applications.

For Phosphor Bronze Contact Material Preference: MTLW-120-23-S-S-268 maintains phosphor bronze contacts matching the original material specification, while other substitutes employ brass alloy contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 75160-118-20 be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts meet the critical matching parameters: 20 positions, 2.54mm pitch, single row, through-hole solder termination, and male pin contacts. Physical and electrical compatibility is established for board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between Mill-Max 800 series substitutes?

A: The 800-10-020-10-001000 features gold finish with 10.0µin thickness. The 800-90-020-10-001000 and 800-90-020-10-002000 both use tin-lead finish with 200.0µin thickness. The latter two differ in mating contact length: 0.195" versus 0.142", affecting insertion depth into mating connectors.

Q: How do Samtec TS and HTS series differ?

A: Both TS and HTS series provide 20-position headers at 2.54mm pitch. HTS series is designated as high-temperature rated. TS series variants include TS-120-G-A-1, TS-120-G-A-2, TS-120-G-AA (gold finish), and TS-120-T-AA (tin finish). All maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What makes MTLW-120-23-S-S-268 distinct from other substitutes?

A: MTLW-120-23-S-S-268 is part of the Flex Stack series with liquid crystal polymer insulation, specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, and 5.2A per contact current rating. It maintains phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating at 30.0µin thickness, matching the original material specification.

Q: Are contact finish thickness variations significant for substitution?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance. The original 75160-118-20 specifies 30.0µin gold thickness. Samtec TS/HTS gold variants provide 20.0µin, while tin-lead variants provide 200.0µin. Mill-Max 800-10 provides 10.0µin gold. Selection depends on application cycle life requirements and mating frequency.

Q: Which substitute offers the best compliance profile?

A: All substitutes are ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status. The original 75160-118-20 is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs and production requiring regulatory compliance, any substitute part satisfies current standards.

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

A: Yes, for board-to-board applications with standard 2.54mm pitch mating connectors. Verify mating contact length compatibility: original 0.225" (5.72mm) mating contact length. Mill-Max 800 series provides 0.195" or 0.142" mating contact lengths. Samtec parts do not specify mating contact length but are designed for standard 2.54mm pitch interfaces.

Q: What inventory considerations apply?

A: All substitute parts maintain active inventory status. HTS-120-T-AA shows highest availability at 1,080 pieces. Mill-Max 800-10-020-10-001000 provides 1,032 pieces. MTLW-120-23-S-S-268 shows lowest availability at 676 pieces. Original 75160-118-20 maintains 810 pieces as obsolete stock.
