MTSW-105-08-G-D-215 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MTSW-105-08-G-D-215 is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This vertical 10-position connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and supports board-to-board or cable connections with a 3A current rating. The part is active in production and RoHS3 compliant, making it suitable for modern electronic assemblies requiring reliable interconnection solutions.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the original part may be unavailable or when inventory optimization is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 929665-02-05-I from 3M qualifies as a substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header (both unshrouded)
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 10
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

These parameters define the mechanical and electrical compatibility envelope for board-to-board interconnection at standard 2.54mm pitch spacing.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MTSW-105-08-G-D-215 and 929665-02-05-I are active production parts with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and RoHS compliance. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements:

The MTSW-105-08-G-D-215 supports an extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and provides a 3A current rating. This part is suitable for applications requiring wider temperature extremes or higher current capacity.

The 929665-02-05-I operates within -40°C to 105°C and carries a 2.5A current rating. This part is appropriate for standard industrial and commercial temperature ranges where the reduced current capacity does not present a constraint.

Both parts feature identical pitch spacing (0.100"), position count (10), row configuration (2), and gold-plated mating contacts, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in board-to-board interconnection applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 929665-02-05-I directly replace the MTSW-105-08-G-D-215 in all applications?

A: Direct substitution is possible when the application operates within the 929665-02-05-I temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and current requirements do not exceed 2.5A. The MTSW-105-08-G-D-215 is required for applications demanding extended temperature operation (-55°C to 125°C) or 3A current capacity.

Q: What are the critical compatibility parameters for these connectors?

A: The critical parameters are pitch spacing (0.100"), position count (10), row configuration (2), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through hole), and termination type (solder). Both parts match these specifications.

Q: Are there differences in contact dimensions between these parts?

A: Yes. The MTSW-105-08-G-D-215 has a mating contact length of 0.215" (5.46mm), while the 929665-02-05-I measures 0.235" (5.97mm). The post contact length differs as well: 0.215" (5.46mm) versus 0.210" (5.33mm). These variations may affect mating force and connector stack height in specific board configurations.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are UL94 V-0 rated and RoHS compliant. The MTSW-105-08-G-D-215 carries ROHS3 compliance, while the 929665-02-05-I is RoHS compliant. Both meet EAR99 export classification.

Q: What is the difference in contact material between these parts?

A: The MTSW-105-08-G-D-215 uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the 929665-02-05-I uses copper alloy contacts. Both are gold-plated at the mating surface with identical finish thickness (10.0µin / 0.25µm).
