Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTSW-132-07-L-S and TSW-132-07-L-S are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications for mating interfaces, contact geometry, and thermal performance. Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

The primary distinction between these parts is the insulation material composition. The HTSW series uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation, while the TSW series uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation. Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and maintain the same insulation height and electrical properties required for this connector class.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements regarding insulation material properties, environmental exposure, or design standardization preferences. Both parts are functionally interchangeable for standard through-hole header applications with 32-position, 2.54mm pitch requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the HTSW-132-07-L-S and TSW-132-07-L-S mechanically compatible?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact geometry (square shape), contact lengths, and insulation height (0.100" / 2.54mm). They are mechanically interchangeable in through-hole PCB applications.

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

A: The HTSW-132-07-L-S uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation, while the TSW-132-07-L-S uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation. Both materials are rated for the same operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards. Material selection depends on specific application requirements for chemical resistance, dimensional stability, or environmental exposure.

Q: Do these connectors have the same electrical performance?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical contact materials (Phosphor Bronze), contact finishes (Gold mating surface at 10.0µin thickness, Tin post finish), and are rated for the same operating temperature range. Electrical performance is equivalent for standard signal and power applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the HTSW-132-07-L-S and TSW-132-07-L-S are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level difference between these parts?

A: The HTSW-132-07-L-S has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) listed as Not Applicable, while the TSW-132-07-L-S is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited). This indicates the TSW series has no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling.

Q: Can I use these connectors interchangeably in my design?

A: Yes, provided your application does not have specific requirements for insulation material type. Both connectors meet identical electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications for 32-position, 2.54mm pitch through-hole header applications.
