Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HTSW-108-23-L-S-LL is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Pitch: 8 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening type
• Contact Finish: Gold-plated mating surface with tin-plated posts
• Compliance & Standards: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance

The Molex 0022284083 connector meets these core substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical pitch spacing, position count, through-hole mounting, solder termination, and push-pull fastening. Both feature gold mating contacts with tin posts and comply with UL94 V-0 and ROHS3 standards, establishing functional and electrical equivalence for applications requiring 8-position 2.54mm pitch header connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTSW-108-23-L-S-LL and 0022284083 are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these connectors is based on application-specific requirements:

The Samtec HTSW-108-23-L-S-LL features Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation material with natural coloring and kinked pin termination. The Molex 0022284083 features polyamide (PA) nylon glass-filled insulation with black coloring and standard solder termination. Both connectors support identical electrical and mechanical functionality for 8-position 2.54mm pitch through-hole applications.

Minor dimensional variations exist in contact lengths and insulation heights. The Molex connector provides slightly longer mating contact length (0.240" vs. 0.230") and post contact length (0.125" vs. 0.115"), while the Samtec connector maintains greater insulation height (0.100" vs. 0.090"). The Molex connector specifies MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), whereas the Samtec connector lists MSL as not applicable.

Both connectors are suitable for applications requiring push-pull fastening, gold-plated mating contacts, and tin-plated posts in through-hole board-to-board or cable configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the core substitution criteria for the HTSW-108-23-L-S-LL?

A: The HTSW-108-23-L-S-LL can be substituted with connectors meeting these specifications: 8-position single-row header, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, through-hole solder termination, male pin contact type, push-pull fastening, gold-plated mating contacts with tin-plated posts, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Are the Samtec HTSW-108-23-L-S-LL and Molex 0022284083 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Both connectors share identical pitch spacing (0.100"), position count (8), and mounting type (through-hole). Minor dimensional differences exist in contact lengths and insulation heights. The Samtec connector has 0.100" insulation height versus 0.090" for the Molex connector. These variations are within typical tolerance ranges for standard header connector applications but should be verified against specific PCB layout requirements.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these connectors?

A: The Samtec HTSW-108-23-L-S-LL uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation, while the Molex 0022284083 uses polyamide (PA) nylon with glass filling. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards. LCP offers superior dimensional stability and lower moisture absorption, while glass-filled polyamide provides enhanced mechanical strength. Material selection depends on application thermal and environmental requirements.

Q: Do both connectors comply with RoHS standards?

A: Yes, both the HTSW-108-23-L-S-LL and 0022284083 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements for lead-free solder and restricted material elimination.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness?

A: The Samtec connector specifies 10.0µin (0.25µm) gold plating on mating contacts, while the Molex connector specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm). The Molex connector also specifies 100.0µin (2.54µm) tin plating on posts, whereas the Samtec specification does not provide post plating thickness. Both finishes provide adequate corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity for standard applications.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity considerations?

A: The Samtec HTSW-108-23-L-S-LL lists MSL as not applicable, indicating minimal moisture sensitivity. The Molex 0022284083 specifies MSL 1 (unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Both connectors are suitable for standard storage and handling conditions without special moisture control requirements.
