Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MTSW-106-07-G-D-240 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header configuration with male pin contacts
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 12 positions arranged in 2 rows
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting Method: Through-hole solder termination
• Contact Finish: Gold-plated mating surface
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull mechanism
• Insulation Material: Glass-filled polyester or equivalent dielectric
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 compliance
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance

The substitute part 929665-01-06-I (3M) meets these core substitution criteria. Both parts share identical position counts, row configurations, pitch specifications, mounting types, and fastening mechanisms. Both are active products with current production status and appropriate regulatory certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MTSW-106-07-G-D-240 and 929665-01-06-I are active production parts with current availability. Selection between these parts is based on the following engineering criteria:

MTSW-106-07-G-D-240 (Samtec Inc.) is the primary specification. This part offers an extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and a 3A current rating. It is ROHS3 compliant and maintains full production status with 1041 units in current inventory.

929665-01-06-I (3M) serves as an approved substitute. This part operates within -40°C to 105°C and carries a 2.5A current rating. It is RoHS compliant and maintains active production status with 1029 units in current inventory. The 3M connector features slightly longer post contacts (0.110" versus 0.090") and enhanced post plating thickness (10.0µin versus 3.00µin), which may provide improved solder joint reliability in certain applications.

Both parts share identical pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting type, and fastening mechanism. Selection should be based on application-specific requirements regarding operating temperature range and current capacity. For applications operating below -40°C or above 105°C, the Samtec part is required. For applications requiring current capacity above 2.5A, the Samtec part is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 929665-01-06-I replace MTSW-106-07-G-D-240 in all applications?

A: The 929665-01-06-I is functionally compatible for applications operating within -40°C to 105°C and requiring maximum current of 2.5A. Applications requiring the extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) or 3A current capacity must use the MTSW-106-07-G-D-240.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are operating temperature range (Samtec: -55°C to 125°C; 3M: -40°C to 105°C), current rating (Samtec: 3A; 3M: 2.5A), and contact post plating thickness (Samtec: 3.00µin; 3M: 10.0µin). Contact mating length differs by 0.005" and post length differs by 0.020".

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MTSW-106-07-G-D-240 is ROHS3 compliant. The 929665-01-06-I is RoHS compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for lead-free manufacturing.

Q: Do these connectors use the same PCB footprint?

A: Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), and position configuration (12 positions in 2 rows). PCB footprints are compatible. Minor dimensional variations in contact length do not affect board-level compatibility.

Q: What is the fastening mechanism for both parts?

A: Both connectors use push-pull fastening type for secure mating and reliable connection retention.

Q: Are both parts currently in production?

A: Yes. Both the MTSW-106-07-G-D-240 and 929665-01-06-I maintain active production status with current inventory availability.
