Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II Series)

The 68691-110HLF, 68691-210HLF, and 68691-410HLF are direct functional equivalents. All three maintain the 10-position, 2-row, 2.54mm pitch configuration with 3A current rating. The 68691-110HLF and 68691-210HLF feature gold mating contact finish matching the MTSW-105-22-S-D-415, while the 68691-410HLF uses tin finish. All three are RoHS compliant and support the extended operating temperature range of -65°C to 130°C. The 68691-210HLF differs from 68691-110HLF only in contact finish thickness (15.0µin vs. 30.0µin), and both are suitable for applications requiring gold plating.

Secondary Substitutes (Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® Series)

The 77313-152-10LF and 77313-846-10LF are breakaway connector variants in the BERGSTIK® series. Both maintain core electrical and mechanical compatibility with 10 positions, 2 rows, 2.54mm pitch, and 3A current rating. These parts support the extended temperature range (-65°C to 130°C) and are RoHS compliant. The breakaway feature provides design flexibility for applications requiring individual contact separation.

Alternative Substitutes (3M 929 Series)

The 929710-10-05-RK and 929715-01-05-I are 3M alternatives with the same pitch and position configuration. Both are RoHS compliant and active in production. However, these parts operate at a reduced current rating of 2.5A and narrower temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) compared to the MTSW-105-22-S-D-415. The 929715-01-05-I provides gold mating finish, while 929710-10-05-RK uses tin finish. The 929710-10-05 variant is discontinued and should not be selected for new designs.

Amphenol ICC 67998-110HLF

This BERGSTIK® II part maintains pitch and position compatibility but features a higher current rating of 5A. It is RoHS compliant and active. Operating temperature data is not provided in the specification.

Amphenol ICC 78548-410HLF

This BERGSTIK® II part with kinked pin termination maintains pitch and position compatibility with tin mating and post finish. It is RoHS compliant and active. Operating temperature and current rating data are not provided.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the MTSW-105-22-S-D-415 with any of the listed parts?

A: Substitution is valid only when the application requirements align with the substitute part's electrical and mechanical specifications. All listed parts share the core mating interface: 10 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, male pin contact type, through-hole mounting, and solder termination. Verify that current rating, operating temperature range, contact finish, and RoHS compliance meet your design requirements before selection.

Q: What is the difference between the Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® and BERGSTIK® II series?

A: Both series maintain the same pitch and position configuration. The BERGSTIK® II series (68691, 67998, 78548 families) and BERGSTIK® series (77313 family) differ in connector type designation and contact specifications. The BERGSTIK® series includes breakaway variants (77313-152-10LF, 77313-846-10LF), while BERGSTIK® II parts are standard headers. All are mechanically and electrically compatible at the mating interface.

Q: Why do some substitute parts have different current ratings?

A: Current rating is determined by contact material, contact cross-section, and finish specifications. The MTSW-105-22-S-D-415 and most Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® variants support 3A per contact. The 3M 929 series parts are rated at 2.5A, and the Amphenol ICC 67998-110HLF is rated at 5A. Select a substitute with current rating equal to or greater than your application requirement.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Most substitute parts are RoHS compliant. The exception is 929710-10-05 (3M), which is RoHS non-compliant and discontinued. For new designs, select from active, RoHS-compliant alternatives: 68691-110HLF, 68691-210HLF, 68691-410HLF, 77313-152-10LF, 77313-846-10LF, 78548-410HLF, 929710-10-05-RK, or 929715-01-05-I.

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

A: Contact finish affects corrosion resistance, wear characteristics, and mating force. Gold finish (MTSW-105-22-S-D-415, 68691-110HLF, 68691-210HLF, 77313-152-10LF, 77313-846-10LF, 929715-01-05-I) provides superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance. Tin finish (68691-410HLF, 78548-410HLF, 929710-10-05-RK) is cost-effective and suitable for applications without stringent corrosion requirements. Both finishes are acceptable for standard board-to-board connections.

Q: Can I use a breakaway connector (77313 series) in place of a cuttable connector (MTSW-105-22-S-D-415)?

A: Yes, if your application permits. Both connector types maintain the same pitch, position count, and mating interface. The breakaway feature allows individual contact separation, providing design flexibility. Verify that the breakaway mechanism does not conflict with your PCB layout or mechanical assembly requirements.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance. The MTSW-105-22-S-D-415 specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold finish on mating contacts. The 68691-210HLF uses 15.0µin (0.38µm), which is thinner. Thicker finishes provide longer service life in high-cycle mating applications. For standard applications, both thicknesses are acceptable.

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitute parts?

A: Yes. The MTSW-105-22-S-D-415 is supplied in bulk packaging. Substitute parts are available in bulk (77313-152-10LF, 929710-10-05, 929710-10-05-RK, 929715-01-05-I) or bag packaging (67998-110HLF, 68691-110HLF, 68691-210HLF, 68691-410HLF, 77313-846-10LF, 78548-410HLF). Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What is the operating temperature range of the MTSW-105-22-S-D-415?

A: The MTSW-105-22-S-D-415 operates from -55°C to 125°C. Most Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® variants support -65°C to 130°C, providing extended temperature capability. The 3M 929 series operates from -40°C to 105°C. Select a substitute with operating temperature range equal to or greater than your application requirement.
