Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTSW-106-06-S-S and TSW-106-06-S-S are active products from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical connector parameters including pitch, contact configuration, contact materials, and thermal operating range.

The primary difference between the two 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 same flammability and compliance standards. Selection between these parts should be based on material preference, inventory availability, and application-specific requirements related to insulation material properties.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are HTSW-106-06-S-S and TSW-106-06-S-S directly interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing (0.100"), number of positions (6), mounting type (through hole), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Both are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: What is the difference between the HTSW and TSW series?

A: The primary difference is the insulation material. HTSW uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) with natural color, while TSW uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) with black color. Both materials provide equivalent electrical performance and meet the same compliance standards.

Q: Can I substitute TSW-106-06-S-S for HTSW-106-06-S-S in my design?

A: Yes, provided your application does not have specific requirements for insulation material type or color. The electrical and mechanical performance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), number of positions (6), number of rows (1), pitch (0.100"), mounting type (through hole), termination (solder), contact material (phosphor bronze), contact finish (gold mating/tin post), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes. Both HTSW-106-06-S-S and TSW-106-06-S-S are supplied in bulk packaging.
