Engineering Selection Recommendations

RoHS Compliance Consideration: The primary part 93992-136H is RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance must select from TE Connectivity (3-826646-6, 8-146274-6) or Samtec (TSW series) alternatives, all of which carry ROHS3 Compliant or RoHS Compliant status.

Contact Finish Selection: Gold-finished parts (3-826646-6, TSW-136-09-G-S, TSW-136-10-G-S, TSW-136-11-G-S, TSW-136-23-SM-S) provide superior corrosion resistance. Tin-finished parts (8-146274-6, TSW-136-09-T-S, TSW-136-10-T-S, TSW-136-22-T-S) are suitable for standard applications with lower cost profiles.

Post Length Matching: Select substitute parts based on PCB thickness and mating depth requirements. The original 93992-136H features a 0.085" post length. Samtec TSW-136-23-SM-S (0.115" post) provides the closest dimensional match for direct replacement. Longer post variants (TSW-136-09-G-S through TSW-136-11-G-S) accommodate thicker PCB assemblies or extended mating depths.

Insulation Material: TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) for enhanced thermal and mechanical properties. Samtec and TE Connectivity AMPMODU alternatives use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), which is standard for this connector class.

Temperature Range: Samtec TSW series supports -55°C to 125°C operation. TE Connectivity AMPMODU series supports -65°C to 105°C. Select based on application thermal requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-136-09-G-S directly replace 93992-136H in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement requires verification of post length compatibility. TSW-136-09-G-S features a 0.400" post length versus 0.085" for the 93992-136H. This longer post may interfere with shallow PCB cavities or mating connectors. TSW-136-23-SM-S (0.115" post) is dimensionally closer for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between gold and tin contact finishes?

A: Gold-finished contacts (G designation) provide superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance, suitable for high-reliability applications. Tin-finished contacts (T designation) are cost-effective for standard industrial applications. Both finishes maintain electrical continuity within the specified operating parameters.

Q: Are TE Connectivity AMPMODU parts interchangeable with Samtec TSW parts?

A: Both series maintain identical pitch (0.100"), position count (36), and core mechanical specifications. However, post lengths, insulation materials, and contact materials differ. Mechanical fit verification is required before substitution. Electrical performance is equivalent within specified operating ranges.

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for new RoHS-compliant designs?

A: All Samtec TSW series parts and TE Connectivity AMPMODU variants carry RoHS compliance certifications. Selection should be based on post length requirements and contact finish preference. TSW-136-23-SM-S provides the closest dimensional match to the original part with RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the current rating difference between substitute parts?

A: TE Connectivity 3-826646-6 specifies 5A current rating. TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 specifies 3A current rating. Samtec TSW series parts do not specify current ratings in the provided data. Verify application current requirements against manufacturer specifications before selection.

Q: Can I use TSW-136-11-G-S in applications designed for 93992-136H?

A: TSW-136-11-G-S features a 0.600" post length, significantly longer than the original 0.085" specification. This part is suitable only for applications requiring extended post length for deeper PCB penetration or mating connector accommodation. Mechanical interference is likely in designs expecting the original shorter post.
