HTSW-150-07-TM-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HTSW-150-07-TM-S is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 50-position vertical header operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts with liquid crystal polymer insulation. The part maintains active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when specific performance characteristics are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HTSW-150-07-TM-S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
• Number of positions and row configuration (50 positions, 1 row)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

The HTSW-150-07-L-S qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains equivalence across all critical parameters. Variations in contact finish specifications and operating temperature range do not preclude substitution when these characteristics are not design-limiting factors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTSW-150-07-TM-S and HTSW-150-07-L-S maintain active product status with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements:

The HTSW-150-07-TM-S features tin plating on mating contacts and operates within the -55°C to 105°C temperature range. The HTSW-150-07-L-S provides gold plating on mating contacts with an extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Gold plating offers enhanced corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance compared to tin plating. The extended temperature capability of the HTSW-150-07-L-S accommodates applications requiring operation at elevated temperatures.

Both parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within their respective operating parameters. Component selection should be based on environmental conditions, contact resistance requirements, and thermal operating limits specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the HTSW-150-07-TM-S and HTSW-150-07-L-S mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications including 50-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, through-hole mounting, and overall contact geometry. They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between tin and gold contact finishes?

A: Tin plating provides cost-effective corrosion protection suitable for standard applications. Gold plating offers superior corrosion resistance, lower contact resistance, and enhanced reliability in demanding environments. Gold-plated contacts are preferred for high-reliability applications and environments with corrosive exposure.

Q: Can the HTSW-150-07-L-S be used in applications designed for the HTSW-150-07-TM-S?

A: Yes. The HTSW-150-07-L-S is a direct substitute. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -55°C to 105°C) and gold contact finish provide equal or superior performance characteristics.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the HTSW-150-07-TM-S and HTSW-150-07-L-S are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
