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

Part Overview

The HTSW-106-14-S-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 and serves board-to-board or cable interconnection applications. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when inventory requirements necessitate alternative suppliers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HTSW-106-14-S-S is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 6
• Number of Rows: 1
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

The substitute part 5-146277-6 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets all critical substitution criteria. Both parts share identical mating pitch, position count, row configuration, connector classification, contact type, mounting method, termination type, fastening mechanism, insulation material, and flammability rating. Variations in secondary parameters such as contact length dimensions, insulation height, and operating temperature range remain within acceptable tolerances for equivalent functionality.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTSW-106-14-S-S and 5-146277-6 are active products with equivalent regulatory compliance. The HTSW-106-14-S-S maintains ROHS3 compliance, while the 5-146277-6 maintains RoHS compliance. Both connectors carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

The HTSW-106-14-S-S operates across a wider temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) compared to the 5-146277-6 (-65°C to 105°C). Selection between these parts should be based on specific application temperature requirements. The 5-146277-6 offers higher minimum operating temperature capability at the lower end (-65°C), while the HTSW-106-14-S-S provides superior high-temperature performance (125°C maximum).

Contact post length differs between the two parts: the HTSW-106-14-S-S provides 0.110" (2.79mm) while the 5-146277-6 provides 0.125" (3.18mm). This variation may affect PCB design considerations for solder joint formation and mechanical clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-146277-6 be used as a direct replacement for the HTSW-106-14-S-S?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (6), row configuration (1), connector type (header), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through hole), termination (solder), fastening mechanism (push-pull), insulation material (LCP), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). These parameters define functional equivalence for board-to-board and cable interconnection applications.

Q: What are the differences in operating temperature ranges?

A: The HTSW-106-14-S-S operates from -55°C to 125°C, while the 5-146277-6 operates from -65°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation above 105°C should use the HTSW-106-14-S-S. Applications requiring operation below -55°C should use the 5-146277-6.

Q: Does the difference in contact post length affect compatibility?

A: Contact post length differences (0.110" for HTSW-106-14-S-S versus 0.125" for 5-146277-6) may influence PCB design parameters including solder joint geometry and mechanical clearance. Design verification is necessary when substituting between these parts in existing PCB layouts.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The HTSW-106-14-S-S is ROHS3 compliant, and the 5-146277-6 is RoHS compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What is the difference between the HTSW series and AMPMODU Mod II series?

A: These are distinct product series from different manufacturers (Samtec and TE Connectivity respectively). Despite series differences, both products meet identical functional and electrical specifications for 6-position, 0.100" pitch header connectors with through-hole mounting and solder termination.

Q: Does the breakaway feature of the 5-146277-6 affect substitution?

A: The breakaway feature of the 5-146277-6 is an additional capability that does not prevent substitution. Applications not requiring breakaway functionality can use this part without impact. Applications requiring breakaway capability benefit from this feature in the substitute part.
