Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HTSW-105-23-F-D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count (10 positions)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Contact dimensions (mating length, post length, overall length)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Contact finish specifications (Gold mating surface, Tin post)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance (ROHS3)

The TSW-105-23-F-D meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTSW-105-23-F-D and TSW-105-23-F-D are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical connector interface parameters.

The primary difference between these parts is the insulation material composition: the HTSW series uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) with natural coloring, while the TSW series uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) with black coloring. Both materials meet the same flammability and temperature specifications. The TSW-105-23-F-D currently has higher inventory availability (1986 units versus 1113 units).

Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements regarding insulation material properties and visual identification needs, as both maintain full functional equivalence for board-to-board and cable connection applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the HTSW-105-23-F-D and TSW-105-23-F-D mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector geometry, pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact dimensions, and mounting specifications. They are mechanically interchangeable in through-hole PCB applications.

Q: What is the significance of the different insulation materials (LCP vs. PBT)?

A: Both Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) meet the same UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Material selection depends on application-specific requirements for mechanical properties, chemical resistance, or dimensional stability.

Q: Do these parts have different electrical performance characteristics?

A: No. Both parts use identical contact materials (Phosphor Bronze), contact finishes (Gold mating surface, Tin post), and contact finish thickness specifications (3.00µin / 0.076µm). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the HTSW-105-23-F-D and TSW-105-23-F-D are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the difference in insulation color, and does it affect functionality?

A: The HTSW series features natural-colored insulation, while the TSW series features black insulation. Color difference is cosmetic and does not affect electrical or mechanical functionality. Selection may depend on visual identification requirements or assembly documentation standards.

Q: Can I use TSW-105-23-F-D as a direct replacement for HTSW-105-23-F-D in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided that the application does not have specific requirements for insulation material type or color. All electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent, and both parts maintain active production status with full RoHS and flammability compliance.
