Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain Active product status and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Selection between substitutes depends on specific application requirements for contact post length and operating temperature range.

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors (3-826646-6, 8-146274-6): Both parts are RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 rating. The 3-826646-6 offers 5A current rating and operates to 105°C maximum. The 8-146274-6 matches the 3A current rating of the main part and operates to 105°C maximum. Both feature breakaway connector type capability.

Samtec TSW Series (TSW-136-09-G-S, TSW-136-09-T-S, TSW-136-10-G-S, TSW-136-10-T-S, TSW-136-11-G-S, TSW-136-22-T-S, TSW-136-23-SM-S): All Samtec parts are ROHS3 Compliant with MSL 1 rating and Active status. Gold-finished variants (G-S suffix) support -55°C to 125°C operating range. Tin-finished variants (T-S suffix) support -55°C to 105°C operating range. Contact post length varies from 0.115" to 0.600" across the series, enabling selection based on PCB thickness and application geometry.

The TSW-136-23-SM-S variant provides the closest match to the original 93992-136HLF in terms of overall contact length (0.445" vs. 0.415") while maintaining gold mating contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, matching the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-136 series parts with longer post lengths substitute for the 93992-136HLF?

A: Yes. The critical mating interface dimension (contact length - mating at 0.230" / 5.84mm) is identical across all listed substitutes. Longer post lengths accommodate thicker PCBs or extended through-hole applications. Verify PCB thickness compatibility with the selected post length before assembly.

Q: What is the difference between gold-finished (G-S) and tin-finished (T-S) Samtec headers?

A: Contact finish affects corrosion resistance and solderability. Gold-finished variants provide superior corrosion resistance and support the full -55°C to 125°C temperature range. Tin-finished variants are cost-effective alternatives with -55°C to 105°C maximum operating temperature. Both finishes are RoHS compliant.

Q: Is the TE Connectivity 3-826646-6 with 5A rating a direct replacement for the 3A-rated 93992-136HLF?

A: The 3-826646-6 is electrically compatible and supports higher current capacity. However, it operates to 105°C maximum versus the original 125°C specification. Verify application temperature requirements before substitution.

Q: How do contact material differences (Phosphor Bronze vs. Brass vs. Copper Alloy) affect compatibility?

A: All three materials provide adequate electrical conductivity for 36-position headers at 0.100" pitch. Material selection affects spring force, wear resistance, and cost. Phosphor Bronze offers superior spring characteristics and is used in the original part and most Samtec substitutes.

Q: What does "Breakaway" connector type mean for TE Connectivity parts?

A: Breakaway headers allow individual pins or groups of pins to be separated after assembly, providing design flexibility. This feature does not affect compatibility with standard mating connectors or sockets.

Q: Are all listed parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: All parts are Active status with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity. Compliance certifications (RoHS, ROHS3) are met across all substitutes. Application-specific reliability requirements should be evaluated based on operating environment and duty cycle.
