HTSW-136-16-S-T-RA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HTSW-136-16-S-T-RA is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board or cable applications. This 108-position connector operates across -55°C to 125°C and meets UL94 V-0 flammability requirements with ROHS3 compliance. The part is currently active in production with 963 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility necessitate alternative connector options that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HTSW-136-16-S-T-RA is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (108)
• Number of rows (3)
• Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

The TSW-136-16-S-T-RA meets all these criteria and is classified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. Variations in insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer vs. Polybutylene Terephthalate) and insulation color do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTSW-136-16-S-T-RA and TSW-136-16-S-T-RA are active production parts manufactured by Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and lead time requirements, as both are functionally equivalent for applications requiring 108-position, 0.100" pitch, through-hole right-angle headers with push-pull fastening and solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-136-16-S-T-RA be used as a direct replacement for HTSW-136-16-S-T-RA?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, position count, pitch, row spacing, mounting configuration, and operating temperature range. The difference in insulation material (LCP vs. PBT) and color does not affect compatibility.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: 108 positions, 3 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, push-pull fastening, -55°C to 125°C operating temperature, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: Are there differences in contact specifications between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use identical contact materials (Phosphor Bronze), contact shapes (Square), contact finishes (Gold mating surface with 30.0µin thickness, Tin post finish), and contact dimensions (0.320" mating length, 0.200" post length).

Q: Does the insulation material difference affect performance?

A: The insulation material difference (LCP in HTSW vs. PBT in TSW) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance within the specified operating parameters. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both HTSW-136-16-S-T-RA and TSW-136-16-S-T-RA are ROHS3 compliant.
