Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS Compliant Applications: The 75160-122-13LF is the direct replacement, maintaining identical form factor and specifications while providing RoHS compliance and active product status. This part is recommended for new designs requiring regulatory compliance.

For Extended Temperature Range: The 75160-122-13LF supports -65°C to 130°C operation, exceeding the original part's undocumented range. For applications requiring temperatures below -55°C or above 125°C, this part provides superior thermal performance.

For Cross-Manufacturer Flexibility: Samtec TSW series (TSW-113-14-G-S, TSW-113-14-L-S, TSW-113-14-S-S, TSW-113-14-T-S) and MTLW series (MTLW-113-07-H-S-340-03) provide functional alternatives with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. These options differ in contact finish specifications and insulation materials but maintain the core 13-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration.

For Contact Finish Considerations: TSW-113-14-T-S features tin mating contacts instead of gold, suitable for applications where gold plating is not required. TSW-113-14-G-S and TSW-113-14-L-S provide gold mating contacts with varying post finishes (gold or tin). TSW-113-14-S-S combines gold mating contacts with thicker plating (30.0µin) and tin post finish.

For Compact Insulation Height: MTLW-113-07-H-S-340-03 features reduced insulation height (0.060" vs. 0.100"), suitable for space-constrained applications, though this introduces dimensional differences in contact geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 75160-122-13LF be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the obsolete 75160-122-13?

A: Yes. The 75160-122-13LF maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications, including 13 positions, 2.54mm pitch, through-hole solder termination, and contact geometry. The primary differences are active product status, RoHS compliance, and extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 130°C).

Q: What are the key differences between Amphenol ICC and Samtec alternatives?

A: Amphenol ICC 75160-122-13LF uses thermoplastic insulation, while Samtec TSW series uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and MTLW series uses liquid crystal polymer (LCP). Contact geometry varies: Samtec parts feature slightly longer mating contacts (0.320" to 0.340" vs. 0.305") and shorter post lengths (0.030" to 0.110" vs. 0.120"). All maintain the same 13-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 75160-122-13LF is RoHS Compliant. All Samtec alternatives (TSW and MTLW series) are ROHS3 Compliant. The original 75160-122-13 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest current rating?

A: MTLW-113-07-H-S-340-03 is rated for 5.2A per contact. The 75160-122-13LF is rated for 5A. Samtec TSW series parts do not specify current ratings in the provided data.

Q: Does contact finish affect compatibility?

A: Contact finish affects corrosion resistance and mating characteristics but does not prevent mechanical or electrical compatibility. Gold-plated contacts (75160-122-13LF, TSW-113-14-G-S, TSW-113-14-L-S, TSW-113-14-S-S) provide superior corrosion resistance. Tin-plated contacts (TSW-113-14-T-S) are suitable for standard applications without corrosive environments.

Q: What is the significance of the MTLW-113-07-H-S-340-03 having only 12 positions loaded?

A: The MTLW-113-07-H-S-340-03 is a 13-position connector with 12 positions loaded, meaning one position is empty. This configuration may require design verification to ensure compatibility with existing mating connectors expecting all 13 positions populated.

Q: Can I use TSW-113-14-T-S in applications originally designed for the 75160-122-13?

A: TSW-113-14-T-S is mechanically and electrically compatible but operates at a lower maximum temperature (-55°C to 105°C vs. the 75160-122-13LF's -65°C to 130°C). Verify that your application's temperature requirements fall within this range. The tin mating contact finish differs from the original gold plating.
