HTSW-106-14-F-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HTSW-106-14-F-S is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications requiring a 6-position, single-row vertical header with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This connector is classified as an active product with full inventory availability. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for component sourcing, inventory management, or design flexibility across manufacturing partners.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HTSW-106-14-F-S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• 6-position configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Male pin contact type
• Phosphor bronze contact material
• Push-pull fastening mechanism

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Through-hole mounting
• Solder termination
• Single-row layout
• Liquid crystal polymer insulation
• Square contact shape

Environmental & Compliance:

• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C or broader
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level 1

The substitute part 78511-106HLF (Amphenol ICC/FCI BERGSTIK® II series) meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution in applications using the HTSW-106-14-F-S.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTSW-106-14-F-S and 78511-106HLF are active products with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on:

Samtec HTSW-106-14-F-S:

• ROHS3 compliant
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Current inventory: 708 pieces

Amphenol ICC 78511-106HLF:

• RoHS compliant
• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 125°C (extended lower temperature limit)
• Current inventory: 1145 pieces
• Current rating specified: 5A
• Voltage rating specified: 110V

Both parts satisfy UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and moisture sensitivity level 1 specifications. The Amphenol ICC part provides a broader operating temperature range at the lower end (-65°C versus -55°C). Component selection should be based on inventory availability, supply chain requirements, and specific application temperature constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 78511-106HLF directly replace the HTSW-106-14-F-S in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (6), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through-hole), and termination (solder). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established across all critical parameters.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Samtec versus Amphenol ICC), series designation (HTSW versus BERGSTIK® II), insulation color (natural versus black), and operating temperature lower limit (-55°C versus -65°C). The Amphenol ICC part specifies current and voltage ratings (5A, 110V), while the Samtec part indicates current rating varies by wire gauge.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The HTSW-106-14-F-S is ROHS3 compliant, and the 78511-106HLF is RoHS compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch specification?

A: The 0.100" pitch is the center-to-center distance between adjacent mating contacts. This standardized pitch ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with corresponding receptacle connectors and PCB footprints designed for 2.54mm spacing.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution compatibility?

A: Packaging format (bag versus bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. It impacts logistics, handling, and inventory management but does not influence connector performance or interchangeability in circuit applications.

Q: What does "push-pull fastening type" mean?

A: Push-pull fastening refers to the mating mechanism where connectors are engaged by pushing them together and disengaged by pulling them apart. This is a standard interface method for board-to-board or cable-to-board connections in this connector category.
