HTSW-150-14-F-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HTSW-150-14-F-D is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features 100 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, suitable for board-to-board or cable interconnection. The part is currently in active production status with 944 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required due to inventory constraints, application-specific material requirements, or design flexibility within the same connector family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HTSW-150-14-F-D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (100)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm mating and row spacing)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact geometry (Square shape)
• Contact finish specifications (Gold mating, Tin post)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance (ROHS3)

The TSW-150-14-F-D meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary difference lies in the insulation material composition: HTSW series uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) while TSW series uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials satisfy the same flammability and environmental requirements for this application class.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTSW-150-14-F-D and TSW-150-14-F-D are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on insulation material requirements specific to the application environment. The HTSW series employs Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation, while the TSW series uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation. Both materials maintain identical electrical and mechanical performance across the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The TSW-150-14-F-D currently has higher inventory availability (1078 units versus 944 units), which may influence procurement decisions when lead time is a consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-150-14-F-D be used as a direct replacement for HTSW-150-14-F-D?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, mounting method, and operating temperature range. The insulation material differs (LCP versus PBT), but both materials meet the same UL94 V-0 flammability and ROHS3 compliance requirements.

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

A: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) are both high-performance thermoplastic materials suitable for connector insulation. Both achieve UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and maintain performance across the -55°C to 125°C operating range. Material selection is typically driven by specific application requirements such as chemical resistance, dimensional stability, or cost considerations.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between HTSW-150-14-F-D and TSW-150-14-F-D?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical contact lengths, insulation heights, and overall connector geometry. The mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), and all contact dimensions are equivalent.

Q: Do both parts have the same contact finish specifications?

A: Yes. Both the HTSW-150-14-F-D and TSW-150-14-F-D feature gold-plated mating contacts (3.00µin thickness) and tin-plated posts, with phosphor bronze contact material.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part is suitable for new designs. Selection should be based on material preference, inventory availability, and any application-specific requirements related to insulation material properties. Both parts carry active production status and full compliance certifications.
