HTSS-132-01-L-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HTSS-132-01-L-D is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This 64-position, 2-row connector operates across -55°C to 125°C and features shrouded 4-wall construction with push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production with 963 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with application requirements, enabling component sourcing flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HTSS-132-01-L-D is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 64 positions in 2-row arrangement
• Pitch Specifications: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Shrouding & Fastening: Shrouded 4-wall construction with push-pull fastening
• Contact Materials & Finish: Phosphor bronze with gold mating finish
• Temperature & Compliance: -55°C to 125°C operating range, UL94 V-0, ROHS3 compliant

The TST-132-01-L-D meets all critical electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. Differences in insulation material (PBT glass-filled versus LCP) and connector style designation (board-to-cable versus board-to-board) do not affect functional interchangeability when mating pitch, position count, contact configuration, and environmental ratings are equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTSS-132-01-L-D and TST-132-01-L-D are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements and supply availability:

HTSS-132-01-L-D is specified for board-to-board or cable applications with LCP insulation material. This part maintains active inventory status with 963 units available.

TST-132-01-L-D is designated for board-to-cable or wire applications with PBT glass-filled insulation material. This substitute maintains active inventory status with 935 units available and provides a current rating specification of 3.4A per contact.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability requirements, and unlimited moisture sensitivity classification. The identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), contact configuration, pitch specifications, and shrouded 4-wall construction ensure functional interchangeability in applications where the connector style designation and insulation material differences do not impose design constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility between HTSS-132-01-L-D and TST-132-01-L-D?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: 64-position count, 2-row configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing, through-hole solder termination, shrouded 4-wall construction, push-pull fastening, male pin contact type, phosphor bronze material with gold mating finish, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between the HTSS and TST series designations?

A: The HTSS series is designated for board-to-board or cable applications, while the TST series is designated for board-to-cable or wire applications. Both series share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 64-position 2.54mm pitch configuration.

Q: Are there differences in insulation material between these parts?

A: Yes. The HTSS-132-01-L-D uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation, while the TST-132-01-L-D uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled insulation. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the same temperature range.

Q: Is the current rating specification available for both parts?

A: The TST-132-01-L-D specifies a current rating of 3.4A per contact. The HTSS-132-01-L-D does not provide a current rating specification in the available data.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the HTSS-132-01-L-D and TST-132-01-L-D are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: HTSS-132-01-L-D has 963 units in stock. TST-132-01-L-D has 935 units in stock. Both are listed as active production parts.
