Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TSW-206-07-G-D qualifies as a direct substitute for the HTSW-206-07-G-D based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Electrical & Mechanical Specifications:

• Identical connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), and contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Identical mating pitch (0.200" / 5.08mm) and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Identical number of positions (12) and row configuration (2 rows)
• Identical contact dimensions: mating length 0.230" (5.84mm), post length 0.100" (2.54mm), overall length 0.430" (10.92mm)
• Identical contact finish (Gold) with matching finish thickness specifications
• Identical mounting type (Through Hole), termination method (Solder), and fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Identical material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Identical RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

Differences:

• Insulation material: HTSW-206-07-G-D uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP); TSW-206-07-G-D uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Insulation color: HTSW-206-07-G-D is Natural; TSW-206-07-G-D is Black
• Packaging: HTSW-206-07-G-D is standard; TSW-206-07-G-D is Bulk
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: HTSW-206-07-G-D is Not Applicable; TSW-206-07-G-D is MSL 1 (Unlimited)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HTSW-206-07-G-D and TSW-206-07-G-D are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, ensuring regulatory compatibility across applications.

The primary distinction lies in insulation material composition. The HTSW-206-07-G-D employs Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation, while the TSW-206-07-G-D uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials satisfy the specified operating temperature range and flammability requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific material requirements, environmental exposure conditions, and existing design validation history.

The TSW-206-07-G-D offers higher inventory availability (969 pcs vs. 689 pcs) and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), providing advantages for supply chain continuity and storage flexibility. The HTSW-206-07-G-D maintains Not Applicable MSL status, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-206-07-G-D replace HTSW-206-07-G-D in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including pitch, contact configuration, contact materials, finish specifications, and operating temperature range. The substitution is mechanically and electrically compatible.

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

A: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) are both thermoplastic materials meeting UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Material selection depends on specific application requirements such as chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and thermal cycling performance. Both materials support the specified -55°C to 125°C operating range.

Q: Does the insulation color difference affect compatibility?

A: No. Insulation color (Natural vs. Black) is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Selection may be based on assembly identification or documentation preferences.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for the TSW-206-07-G-D?

A: MSL 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life without moisture sensitivity constraints. The HTSW-206-07-G-D shows Not Applicable MSL status. For applications with extended storage periods or high-humidity environments, the TSW-206-07-G-D offers greater flexibility.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Both parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 certification. Selection for high-reliability applications should be based on design validation history, application-specific environmental conditions, and material compatibility requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the different base product numbers (HTSW-206 vs. TSW-206)?

A: The base product numbers indicate different product series within Samtec's connector portfolio. Despite different series designations, the HTSW-206-07-G-D and TSW-206-07-G-D maintain identical mating specifications and are functionally interchangeable for the specified 12-position, 0.200" pitch header application.
