HTSW-150-05-L-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HTSW-150-05-L-D is an active rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. This through-hole mounted connector features 100 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. The connector is designed for board-to-board or cable applications with solder termination and push-pull fastening. Finding equivalent or substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory availability, lead time requirements, or specific application constraints while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HTSW-150-05-L-D is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 100
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The TSW-150-05-L-D meets all critical substitution criteria. Variations in insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer vs. Polybutylene Terephthalate) and insulation color do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for this connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTSW-150-05-L-D and TSW-150-05-L-D are active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance. Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability and inventory status. The TSW-150-05-L-D currently has higher inventory availability (1119 Pcs) compared to the HTSW-150-05-L-D (833 Pcs). The difference in insulation material composition (LCP versus PBT) does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility for standard board-to-board connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-150-05-L-D be used as a direct replacement for HTSW-150-05-L-D?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including pitch, contact configuration, contact materials, operating temperature range, and flammability rating. The insulation material difference does not impact compatibility.

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

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), position count (100), row configuration (2 rows), mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), mounting method (through hole), termination type (solder), contact finish (gold), contact material (phosphor bronze), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

Q: Does the insulation material difference affect performance?

A: No. Both Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) meet the same UL94 V-0 flammability standard and provide equivalent electrical insulation properties for this connector application.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both HTSW-150-05-L-D and TSW-150-05-L-D are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the difference in insulation color?

A: The HTSW-150-05-L-D features natural-colored insulation while the TSW-150-05-L-D features black insulation. This is a cosmetic difference and does not affect electrical or mechanical function.
