Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain Active product status and comply with UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The following considerations apply to component selection:

Compliance and Regulatory Status: All substitute parts are RoHS compliant, with most achieving ROHS3 compliance. The TE Connectivity 826632-9 and substitute parts from 3M, Hirose, and Harwin maintain RoHS Compliant status, while Molex, Würth Elektronik, and Samtec parts achieve ROHS3 Compliant status. Selection based on specific regulatory requirements should reference the applicable compliance designation.

Temperature Operating Range: The TE Connectivity 826632-9 operates across -65°C to 105°C. Substitute parts with narrower temperature ranges include the Hirose A1-18PA-2.54DSA(71) (-55°C to 85°C). Substitute parts with extended upper temperature limits include Samtec HTSW and MTSW series (-55°C to 125°C). Component selection should align with application temperature requirements.

Current Rating Considerations: The TE Connectivity 826632-9 is rated at 5A. Substitute parts with lower current ratings include 3M 929665 series (2.5A). Substitute parts with equivalent or higher current ratings include Würth Elektronik 61301821121 (3A), Hirose A1-18PA-2.54DSA(71) (3A), and Harwin M20 series (3A per contact). The Samtec HTSW series current rating varies by wire gauge. Applications requiring the full 5A rating should prioritize the TE Connectivity 826632-9 or equivalent parts with matching current specifications.

Contact Finish Variations: The TE Connectivity 826632-9 features gold-plated mating contacts with tin-plated posts. Most substitute parts maintain gold mating contact finish. The Harwin M20-9980946 features tin-plated mating contacts, which represents a material variation. Contact finish selection should align with application requirements for corrosion resistance and signal integrity.

Moisture Sensitivity: The TE Connectivity 826632-9 maintains MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. Most substitute parts maintain equivalent or superior moisture sensitivity ratings, supporting use in standard storage and handling environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine if a part can substitute for the TE Connectivity 826632-9?

A: The critical parameters are: 18 positions in 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, male pin contacts, through-hole mounting, solder termination, push-pull fastening, square contact shape, and unshrouded design. All identified substitute parts meet these specifications.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a different current rating?

A: Current rating is an application-dependent parameter. The TE Connectivity 826632-9 is rated at 5A. Substitute parts with lower current ratings (such as 3M 929665 series at 2.5A) are suitable only for applications requiring equal or lower current levels. For applications requiring 5A capacity, the TE Connectivity 826632-9 or equivalent parts with matching current specifications should be selected.

Q: Are there differences in contact length between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. Contact length variations exist across substitute parts. The TE Connectivity 826632-9 features a mating contact length of 0.264" (6.70mm) and post length of 0.126" (3.20mm). Substitute parts vary in these dimensions. Contact length differences may affect mating depth and overall connector stack height. Design verification is necessary when contact length variations exceed application tolerances.

Q: What is the difference between the Samtec HTSW-109-24-G-D and HTSW-109-24-L-D-LL?

A: Both parts share identical mating and row spacing specifications. The primary difference is termination type: HTSW-109-24-G-D features standard solder termination with gold post finish, while HTSW-109-24-L-D-LL features kinked pin solder termination with tin post finish. The kinked pin design provides mechanical retention during assembly. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and post finish specifications.

Q: Can I substitute the TE Connectivity 826632-9 with the Harwin M20-9980946?

A: Yes. The Harwin M20-9980946 meets all primary matching criteria. The M20-9980946 features tin-plated mating contacts compared to the gold-plated mating contacts of the TE Connectivity 826632-9. Both parts maintain 3A or higher current capacity, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and -40°C to 105°C operating temperature range. The tin finish variation should be evaluated against application requirements for corrosion resistance and signal integrity.

Q: What is the difference between standard header and cuttable header designs?

A: The TE Connectivity 826632-9 is classified as a breakaway header. The Harwin M20 series and Samtec MTSW series are classified as cuttable headers, allowing individual positions to be separated after assembly. Cuttable designs provide design flexibility for applications requiring variable connector configurations. Standard breakaway designs maintain fixed position counts.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: No. The TE Connectivity 826632-9 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Substitute parts vary in packaging: Molex 0010977186, 3M 929665 series, Harwin M20 series, and Samtec HTSW-109-24-G-D are supplied in Bulk packaging. Hirose A1-18PA-2.54DSA(71) is supplied in Tray packaging. Samtec HTSW-109-24-L-D-LL and MTSW-109-08-SM-D-315 packaging is not specified. Packaging format may affect procurement, storage, and handling procedures.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference between substitute parts?

A: Operating temperature ranges vary across substitute parts. The TE Connectivity 826632-9 operates from -65°C to 105°C. The Hirose A1-18PA-2.54DSA(71) operates from -55°C to 85°C, providing a narrower range. The Samtec HTSW and MTSW series operate from -55°C to 125°C, providing extended upper temperature capability. Application temperature requirements should guide part selection.

Q: Can I use the 3M 929665-02-09-I and 929665-09-09-I interchangeably?

A: Both 3M parts meet identical mating and row spacing specifications and share the same series designation. The primary difference is contact post length: 929665-02-09-I features 0.210" (5.33mm) post length, while 929665-09-09-I features 0.145" (3.68mm) post length. These variations affect overall connector stack height and mating depth. Parts are not interchangeable without design verification of stack height requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications should I verify for my application?

A: All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. RoHS compliance status varies: TE Connectivity 826632-9, 3M 929665 series, and Hirose A1-18PA-2.54DSA(71) are RoHS Compliant. Molex 0010977186, Würth Elektronik 61301821121, Samtec HTSW and MTSW series, and Harwin M20 series are ROHS3 Compliant. Application regulatory requirements should determine the appropriate compliance designation.
