HTSW-101-06-L-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HTSW-101-06-L-S is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting in board-to-board or cable applications. This single-position, unshrouded header connector features male pins with gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts, constructed from phosphor bronze with liquid crystal polymer (LCP) insulation. The connector operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and meets UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. As an active product with ROHS3 compliance, substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, design revisions, or application-specific insulation material preferences.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TSW-101-06-L-S qualifies as a direct substitute for the HTSW-101-06-L-S based on the following matching parameters:

Connector type: Header
Contact type: Male Pin
Number of positions: 1
Number of rows: 1
Mounting type: Through Hole
Termination: Solder
Fastening type: Push-Pull
Contact length - mating: 0.105" (2.67mm)
Contact length - post: 0.095" (2.41mm)
Overall contact length: 0.300" (7.62mm)
Insulation height: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Contact shape: Square
Contact finish - mating: Gold
Contact finish - mating thickness: 10.0µin (0.25µm)
Contact finish - post: Tin
Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
Operating temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
RoHS status: ROHS3 Compliant
ECCN: EAR99
HTSUS: 8536.69.4040

The primary difference between the main part and substitute is the insulation material: HTSW-101-06-L-S uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) with natural color, while TSW-101-06-L-S uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) with black color. Both materials meet the specified flammability and temperature requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both HTSW-101-06-L-S and TSW-101-06-L-S are active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on insulation material requirements:

HTSW-101-06-L-S with LCP insulation is suitable for applications requiring superior chemical resistance and dimensional stability.
TSW-101-06-L-S with PBT insulation is suitable for general-purpose applications and offers cost efficiency.

Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the full -55°C to 125°C temperature range. The MSL rating difference (Not Applicable vs. 1 - Unlimited) indicates that TSW-101-06-L-S has no moisture sensitivity constraints, while HTSW-101-06-L-S does not specify moisture sensitivity limitations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-101-06-L-S be used as a direct replacement for HTSW-101-06-L-S?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, mounting method, contact dimensions, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is insulation material (LCP vs. PBT) and color (natural vs. black). Substitution is valid when the application does not require specific insulation material properties.

Q: What is the difference between LCP and PBT insulation materials?

A: LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) offers superior chemical resistance and dimensional stability at elevated temperatures. PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) provides adequate performance for general applications. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Are the contact dimensions identical between HTSW-101-06-L-S and TSW-101-06-L-S?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical mating contact length (0.105" / 2.67mm), post contact length (0.095" / 2.41mm), overall contact length (0.300" / 7.62mm), and insulation height (0.100" / 2.54mm).

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both HTSW-101-06-L-S and TSW-101-06-L-S are ROHS3 compliant, classified as EAR99, and assigned the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4040).

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level difference?

A: HTSW-101-06-L-S lists MSL as Not Applicable, while TSW-101-06-L-S specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited). This indicates TSW-101-06-L-S has no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling.
