Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MTSW-107-08-G-D-280 maintains Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 material flammability certification. The substitute part MTSW-107-08-G-D-280 is identical to the main part across all specified parameters, including electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, contact materials, and environmental certifications. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and supply chain logistics rather than technical differentiation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What parameters determine if a part can substitute for the MTSW-107-08-G-D-280?

A: Direct substitution requires matching all critical parameters: 14-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, through-hole solder termination, 0.280" (7.11mm) mating contact length, gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts, polyester glass-filled insulation, -55°C to 125°C operating range, 3A current rating, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: Are there any differences between the main part and substitute part?

A: The MTSW-107-08-G-D-280 substitute part is identical to the main part across all specified electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch specification?

A: The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch defines the center-to-center spacing between adjacent contacts in both the mating and row spacing dimensions. This standardized pitch ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB footprints designed for this spacing.

Q: Does the cuttable header feature affect substitution criteria?

A: The cuttable header feature is a design characteristic of the MTSW series that allows the connector to be segmented to custom lengths. This feature must be present in substitute parts to maintain design compatibility.

Q: What does the contact length specification indicate?

A: Contact length specifications define the mating length (0.280"), post length (0.150"), and overall length (0.530"). These dimensions determine insertion depth, PCB standoff height, and mating force characteristics. All three measurements must match for proper electrical and mechanical function.

Q: Is ROHS3 compliance required for substitution?

A: ROHS3 compliance is a regulatory requirement for this component category. Substitute parts must maintain identical ROHS3 compliance status to ensure regulatory and environmental standards alignment.
