Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute - Samtec HTSW-102-08-T-S-RA: This part is listed as a direct substitute in the TE Connectivity 826652-2 documentation. It meets all critical parameters and is ROHS3 compliant with extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C). Inventory availability is high at 6069 pieces.

Secondary Substitute - 3M 929835-01-02-RK: This part is also listed as a direct substitute in the TE Connectivity 826652-2 documentation. It is RoHS compliant and maintains the same operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C). Current rating is 2.5A, which is lower than the primary part's 5A rating. Inventory availability is 2349 pieces.

Alternative - Molex 0901210762: This part meets all critical mechanical and electrical parameters with ROHS3 compliance. It features gold mating contact finish and is available in bulk packaging with 3786 pieces in stock. Operating temperature range is not specified.

Alternative - Samtec TSW-102-09-G-S-RA: This part meets all critical parameters with ROHS3 compliance and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The contact post length is significantly longer (0.290" vs. 0.126"), which may affect board layout compatibility. Inventory availability is 1029 pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the TE Connectivity 826652-2 with any of the listed alternatives?

A: All listed substitute parts meet the critical mechanical and electrical interface parameters. However, verify that contact length, insulation height, and operating temperature specifications are compatible with your specific application requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the Samtec HTSW-102-08-T-S-RA and TSW-102-09-G-S-RA?

A: Both parts meet core substitution criteria. The primary difference is contact post length: HTSW-102-08-T-S-RA has 0.090" (2.29mm) post length, while TSW-102-09-G-S-RA has 0.290" (7.37mm) post length. The TSW variant also supports a higher operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C vs. -55°C ~ 105°C). Select based on your PCB thickness and thermal requirements.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 826652-2 and most substitutes are RoHS compliant. Samtec parts are ROHS3 compliant. The 3M 929835-01-02 is RoHS non-compliant and should not be used in applications requiring RoHS compliance. Verify your application's compliance requirements before selection.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish differences (Gold vs. Tin)?

A: Contact finish affects corrosion resistance and mating force characteristics. Gold-plated contacts (TE Connectivity 826652-2, Molex 0901210762, 3M 929648-01-02-I, Samtec TSW-102-09-G-S-RA) provide superior corrosion resistance. Tin-plated contacts (Molex 0901210122, 3M 929835-01-02-RK, Samtec HTSW-102-08-T-S-RA) are cost-effective for general-purpose applications. Both finishes are acceptable for standard board-to-board connections.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution eligibility?

A: Packaging format (Bulk vs. Tray) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection depends on your procurement and assembly process requirements. The TE Connectivity 826652-2 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Molex 0901210122 is supplied in Tray packaging; all other substitutes are supplied in Bulk.

Q: What is the current rating significance for this connector?

A: The TE Connectivity 826652-2 is rated for 5A. The 3M 929648-01-02-I and 3M 929835-01-02-RK are rated for 2.5A. Samtec HTSW and TSW series current ratings vary by wire gauge. For applications requiring 5A continuous current, verify that the substitute part's current rating meets your design requirements.

Q: Can I use these connectors in automotive applications?

A: The Molex C-Grid III series (0901210122 and 0901210762) are specifically listed for automotive and general-purpose applications. Other substitutes are listed for general-purpose applications. Verify automotive qualification requirements with your application specifications before selection.
