MTSW-102-10-G-D-565 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MTSW-102-10-G-D-565 is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting in board-to-board or cable applications. This connector features 4 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing and is classified as a cuttable header with unshrouded design. The part is currently active in production with 864 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters allow direct functional replacement while maintaining circuit performance and physical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MTSW-102-10-G-D-565 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant or equivalent:

Electrical compatibility requires matching pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), number of positions (4), row configuration (2 rows), contact type (male pin), and contact material (phosphor bronze with gold finish). Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0) establish the environmental and safety baseline.

Mechanical compatibility requires through-hole mounting capability, solder termination, and unshrouded design. The connector must support board-to-board or cable applications with push-pull fastening.

Compliance requirements include active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and EAR99 classification.

The identified substitute TSW-102-05-G-D meets these core electrical and mechanical criteria while differing in contact length specifications and insulation material composition, which do not affect functional substitution in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MTSW-102-10-G-D-565 and TSW-102-05-G-D are active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications including pitch spacing, contact material, contact finish composition, operating temperature range, and flammability rating.

The primary distinction between these parts is contact length geometry. The MTSW-102-10-G-D-565 features extended mating contact length (0.565" / 14.35mm) and post length (0.165" / 4.19mm), resulting in overall contact length of 0.830" (21.08mm). The TSW-102-05-G-D provides reduced contact lengths with 0.105" (2.67mm) mating length and 0.130" (3.30mm) post length, yielding overall contact length of 0.335" (8.51mm).

Secondary differences include insulation material composition (polyester glass-filled versus polybutylene terephthalate) and connector type designation (cuttable header versus standard header). These variations do not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility in standard board-to-board applications.

Selection between these parts depends on specific application requirements regarding contact engagement depth and board thickness accommodation. Both parts satisfy identical compliance and certification requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-102-05-G-D directly replace MTSW-102-10-G-D-565 in existing designs?

A: Substitution is electrically and mechanically valid based on matching pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact type (male pin), number of positions (4 in 2 rows), contact material (phosphor bronze with gold finish), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). However, the significant difference in overall contact length (0.830" versus 0.335") may affect physical fit depending on board thickness and mating connector depth. Verify mechanical clearance and engagement requirements before substitution.

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

A: Pitch spacing, number of positions, row configuration, contact type, contact material, contact finish composition, and operating temperature range are the primary electrical parameters. Both parts maintain identical specifications in these areas. Current rating is specified only for the MTSW-102-10-G-D-565 (3A) and not provided for the TSW-102-05-G-D.

Q: How do the insulation materials differ between these parts?

A: The MTSW-102-10-G-D-565 uses polyester with glass filler, while the TSW-102-05-G-D uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Both materials achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating and maintain identical insulation height (0.100" / 2.54mm) and color (black). Material selection does not affect electrical performance in standard applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the MTSW-102-10-G-D-565 and TSW-102-05-G-D are ROHS3 compliant. Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and identical HTSUS codes (8536.69.4040).

Q: What is the significance of the contact length difference?

A: Contact length determines the depth of engagement with mating connectors and the thickness of PCBs that can be accommodated. The MTSW-102-10-G-D-565 with extended contact length (0.565" mating / 0.165" post) is suitable for applications requiring deeper engagement or thicker board accommodation. The TSW-102-05-G-D with reduced contact length (0.105" mating / 0.130" post) is designed for compact applications with thinner board profiles. Selection depends on specific mechanical requirements.
