MTSW-108-11-L-D-650 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MTSW-108-11-L-D-650 is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 16-position, 2-row connector operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and supports a current rating of 3A per contact. The connector features gold-plated mating contacts with tin-plated posts and is constructed from phosphor bronze with a polyester, glass-filled insulation body rated UL94 V-0. The product maintains active status and ROHS3 compliance. Equivalent substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design flexibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MTSW-108-11-L-D-650 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header configuration (cuttable or breakaway variants acceptable)
• Contact Type: Male pin contacts
• Number of Positions: 16 positions
• Number of Rows: 2 rows
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Material: Phosphor bronze
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold plating
• Current Rating: 3A minimum
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass or exceed -55°C to 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 compliant

The PBC08DFEN from Sullins Connector Solutions meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an equivalent part for this application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MTSW-108-11-L-D-650 and PBC08DFEN maintain active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and supply chain considerations. The PBC08DFEN provides an extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C versus -55°C to 125°C), offering additional thermal margin for applications requiring lower temperature operation. Both connectors are rated UL94 V-0 and carry identical electrical specifications. The primary difference lies in insulation material composition (polyester glass-filled versus PBT) and connector style (cuttable versus breakaway), neither of which affects electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard through-hole PCB applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PBC08DFEN be used as a direct replacement for MTSW-108-11-L-D-650?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (2.54mm), position count (16), row configuration (2), contact material, contact finish, current rating (3A), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for through-hole PCB mounting.

Q: What is the difference between "cuttable" and "breakaway" connector types?

A: Both styles allow individual position separation. The MTSW-108-11-L-D-650 uses a cuttable design, while the PBC08DFEN uses a breakaway design. Both achieve the same functional outcome of allowing connector segmentation for custom pin counts.

Q: Does the insulation material difference affect compatibility?

A: No. Polyester glass-filled and PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) are both suitable for this application class. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain electrical isolation properties across the specified operating temperature ranges.

Q: Are there temperature considerations when substituting these parts?

A: The PBC08DFEN operates across -65°C to 125°C, providing a 10°C lower temperature floor compared to the MTSW-108-11-L-D-650 (-55°C to 125°C). For applications operating above -55°C, both parts are equivalent. For applications requiring operation below -55°C, the PBC08DFEN is the appropriate selection.

Q: Do both parts have the same solder post specifications?

A: Both connectors feature tin-plated posts for solder termination. The MTSW-108-11-L-D-650 has a post length of 0.180" (4.57mm), while the PBC08DFEN has a post length of 0.520" (13.21mm). Verify PCB pad depth and through-hole specifications to ensure compatibility with your board design.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the MTSW-108-11-L-D-650 and PBC08DFEN are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring RoHS certification.
