Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HTSW-103-17-L-D-LL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical 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)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Kinked Pin, Solder
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The TSW-103-17-L-D-LL qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in insulation material (LCP vs. PBT) and packaging do not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTSW-103-17-L-D-LL and TSW-103-17-L-D-LL are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting the same regulatory requirements.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Packaging requirements: TSW-103-17-L-D-LL is supplied in bulk packaging, while HTSW-103-17-L-D-LL packaging is not specified.
• Insulation material preference: HTSW uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP); TSW uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials support the specified operating temperature range and flammability rating.
• Inventory availability: TSW-103-17-L-D-LL has higher stock availability (975 pcs vs. 779 pcs).
• Moisture sensitivity: TSW-103-17-L-D-LL carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), while HTSW-103-17-L-D-LL is Not Applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-103-17-L-D-LL be used as a direct replacement for HTSW-103-17-L-D-LL?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (6), row configuration (2 rows), contact geometry, termination method, and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Both are ROHS3 compliant and UL94 V-0 rated.

Q: What is the difference between the insulation materials?

A: HTSW-103-17-L-D-LL uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation, while TSW-103-17-L-D-LL uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials meet the specified operating temperature range and flammability requirements. Material selection may depend on application-specific environmental or mechanical requirements.

Q: Does packaging affect compatibility?

A: Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. TSW-103-17-L-D-LL is supplied in bulk packaging, which may influence procurement and handling procedures but does not alter connector performance or pin configuration.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry EAR99 ECCN classification, and share the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4040). Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for TSW-103-17-L-D-LL?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates the part has minimal moisture sensitivity and does not require special moisture control during storage or handling. HTSW-103-17-L-D-LL is listed as Not Applicable for MSL, indicating it does not require moisture sensitivity classification.
