HTSW-103-07-F-D-LL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HTSW-103-07-F-D-LL is an active rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. This through-hole vertical header connector features 6 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. The connector is designed for board-to-board or cable applications with unshrouded construction and push-pull fastening. With 1081 pieces in current stock, this component remains actively produced and supported.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct replacement in applications where the core functional requirements remain constant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HTSW-103-07-F-D-LL is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Number of positions (6)
• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Contact finish - mating (Gold)
• Contact finish - post (Tin)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination (Kinked Pin, Solder)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Contact length - mating (0.230" / 5.84mm)
• Contact length - post (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Overall contact length (0.430" / 10.92mm)
• Insulation height (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Contact shape (Square)

Compliance Parameters:

• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS status (ROHS3 Compliant)
• ECCN (EAR99)

The TSW-103-07-F-D-LL meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in insulation material (PBT vs. LCP) and insulation color do not affect functional substitution when all other parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTSW-103-07-F-D-LL and TSW-103-07-F-D-LL are active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain identical compliance certifications including ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and EAR99 export classification.

The primary difference between these parts is the insulation material composition: the HTSW series uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) while the TSW series uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials meet the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical performance across all critical parameters.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements related to insulation material properties, such as chemical resistance, dimensional stability, or thermal characteristics specific to the end-use environment. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution when these material-specific considerations do not impose additional constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-103-07-F-D-LL replace HTSW-103-07-F-D-LL in existing designs?

A: Yes. The TSW-103-07-F-D-LL meets all critical electrical and mechanical specifications of the HTSW-103-07-F-D-LL. The connector pitch (2.54mm), contact configuration (6 positions, 2 rows), contact materials, finishes, and operating temperature range are identical. Direct substitution is supported from an electrical and mechanical standpoint.

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

A: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) are both thermoplastic materials used for connector insulation. Both materials in these parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and support the -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. Material selection should be based on specific application requirements such as chemical exposure, dimensional stability needs, or thermal cycling performance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the HTSW-103-07-F-D-LL and TSW-103-07-F-D-LL are ROHS3 compliant and meet current regulatory requirements for restricted substances.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature a 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing. This is a standard pitch for through-hole rectangular connectors in this product category.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for board-to-board applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are specified for board-to-board or cable applications with through-hole mounting and kinked pin solder termination.

Q: What is the current inventory status?

A: The HTSW-103-07-F-D-LL has 1081 pieces in stock, while the TSW-103-07-F-D-LL has 805 pieces in stock. Both are actively produced and available.
