HTSW-102-14-F-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HTSW-102-14-F-S is an active rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 2-position vertical header operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is configured for board-to-board or cable connections. The connector features gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts with phosphor bronze contact material and Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, lead time requirements, or specific application constraints while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HTSW-102-14-F-S is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Number of Positions: 2
Number of Rows: 1
Connector Type: Header
Contact Type: Male Pin
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Termination: Solder
Fastening Type: Push-Pull
Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The TSW-102-14-F-S meets all critical substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical mating pitch, position count, row configuration, contact type, mounting method, and operating temperature specifications. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and ROHS3 certification. Differences in insulation material (LCP versus PBT) and insulation color do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within the specified parameter set.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTSW-102-14-F-S and TSW-102-14-F-S are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications for mating pitch, contact configuration, and operating temperature range. Both connectors maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and ROHS3 certification status.

The TSW-102-14-F-S is suitable as a direct substitute where inventory or lead time constraints apply. The primary differences—insulation material composition (LCP versus PBT) and insulation color—do not affect connector function, mating compatibility, or electrical performance within the specified operating parameters.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, delivery timeline, and any application-specific requirements related to insulation material properties or visual identification needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the HTSW-102-14-F-S and TSW-102-14-F-S mechanically compatible?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (2), row configuration (1), contact dimensions, and mounting specifications. They are mechanically interchangeable.

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

A: LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) and PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) are both thermoplastic insulation materials. Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Material selection typically depends on application-specific thermal or chemical exposure requirements not specified in the provided parameters.

Q: Can I use TSW-102-14-F-S as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the design does not specify LCP insulation material as a requirement. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, and both connectors operate across the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Q: What does ROHS3 Compliant mean?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the connector meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive requirements, restricting the use of specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity considerations?

A: The HTSW-102-14-F-S is listed as Not Applicable for MSL. The TSW-102-14-F-S is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for either part.
