HTST-108-01-S-DV-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HTST-108-01-S-DV-TR is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for surface mount applications requiring 16-position, 2-row connectivity at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This shrouded, push-pull fastened header operates across -55°C to 125°C and is classified as Active product status. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the core connector specifications, enabling component interchangeability in board-level applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTST-108-01-S-DV-TR and N2516-6V0C-RB-WD maintain Active product status and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Both are RoHS compliant and available in Tape & Reel packaging for automated assembly.

The HTST-108-01-S-DV-TR supports a maximum operating temperature of 125°C and provides 3.4A per contact current rating. The N2516-6V0C-RB-WD operates to 105°C maximum with 1.75A per contact current rating. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific thermal and current requirements. Both connectors feature identical pitch, row spacing, shrouding configuration, and fastening mechanism, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility at the board interface level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if N2516-6V0C-RB-WD can substitute for HTST-108-01-S-DV-TR?

A: Substitution is valid when the connector maintains identical pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), number of positions (16), number of rows (2), shrouding type (4-wall), fastening mechanism (push-pull), and contact finish (gold-plated). Both parts meet these criteria.

Q: Are there differences in current rating between these connectors?

A: Yes. The HTST-108-01-S-DV-TR is rated for 3.4A per contact, while the N2516-6V0C-RB-WD is rated for 1.75A per contact. Applications requiring current levels above 1.75A per contact must use the HTST-108-01-S-DV-TR.

Q: What is the maximum operating temperature difference?

A: The HTST-108-01-S-DV-TR operates to -55°C to 125°C, while the N2516-6V0C-RB-WD operates to -55°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation above 105°C must use the HTST-108-01-S-DV-TR.

Q: Do both connectors use the same insulation material?

A: No. The HTST-108-01-S-DV-TR uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), while the N2516-6V0C-RB-WD uses Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate (PCT) with glass filler. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Q: Are there mechanical dimension differences?

A: Yes. The contact length mating dimension differs slightly (0.250" vs 0.243"), and insulation height differs (0.350" vs 0.390"). These variations may affect board layout and mating connector clearance in space-constrained applications.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both HTST-108-01-S-DV-TR and N2516-6V0C-RB-WD are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly.
