Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HTSW-116-07-F-S is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header (male pin contact type)
• Number of Positions: 16
• Number of Rows: 1
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The TSW-116-07-F-S meets all critical substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTSW-116-07-F-S and TSW-116-07-F-S are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

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 thermal performance standards. The TSW-116-07-F-S carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), while the HTSW-116-07-F-S lists MSL as Not Applicable.

Selection between these equivalent parts should be based on design requirements specific to insulation material properties, color coding preferences, or supply chain availability. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 16-position, 2.54mm pitch through-hole header connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-116-07-F-S be used as a direct replacement for HTSW-116-07-F-S?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and operating temperature range. The electrical and mechanical interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What is the difference between LCP and PBT insulation materials in these connectors?

A: Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The choice between LCP (HTSW series) and PBT (TSW series) depends on specific application requirements for material properties, cost considerations, or design preferences.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both HTSW-116-07-F-S and TSW-116-07-F-S are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Does the insulation color difference affect functionality?

A: No. The natural color of HTSW and black color of TSW are cosmetic differences only. Both provide equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Q: What is the MSL rating difference between these parts?

A: HTSW-116-07-F-S lists MSL as Not Applicable, while TSW-116-07-F-S carries MSL 1 (Unlimited). This indicates different moisture sensitivity classifications, though both are suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.

Q: Are these parts interchangeable in PCB design?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical footprints, pin configurations, and through-hole mounting specifications. PCB designs do not require modification when substituting between these parts.
