HTSW-116-10-G-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HTSW-116-10-G-S is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 16-position, single-row header operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with 866 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design flexibility permits component interchange based on equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HTSW-116-10-G-S is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (16)
• Number of rows (1)
• Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Contact finish - mating (Gold)
• Contact finish thickness - mating (10.0µin / 0.25µm)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

The substitute part TSW-116-10-G-S meets all critical substitution criteria. Variations in insulation material (LCP vs. PBT) and insulation color do not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTSW-116-10-G-S and TSW-116-10-G-S are active production parts manufactured by Samtec Inc. with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability and lead time requirements
• Insulation material preference (LCP vs. PBT)
• Visual identification needs (natural vs. black insulation color)
• Moisture sensitivity level requirements (HTSW series: Not Applicable; TSW series: MSL 1 Unlimited)

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 16-position, 0.100" pitch through-hole headers with gold-plated contacts and phosphor bronze contact material.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-116-10-G-S replace HTSW-116-10-G-S in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, operating temperature range, and contact materials. The primary differences are insulation material composition and color, which do not affect functional compatibility.

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

A: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) are both thermoplastic materials used for connector insulation. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Material selection depends on specific application requirements such as chemical resistance, dimensional stability, or thermal performance.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both HTSW-116-10-G-S and TSW-116-10-G-S are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C, making them suitable for standard industrial and commercial temperature ranges.

Q: What does MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) mean for these parts?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level indicates the part's sensitivity to moisture absorption during storage and handling. HTSW-116-10-G-S is rated as Not Applicable, while TSW-116-10-G-S is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture-related storage restrictions for the TSW variant.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both HTSW-116-10-G-S and TSW-116-10-G-S are ROHS3 compliant, meeting Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations for lead-free and restricted substance requirements.
