• Pitch Specifications: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole mounting with solder termination
• Contact Material & Finish: Phosphor bronze with gold mating surface
• Electrical Performance: 3A current rating capability
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance, MSL 1 rating

The substitute part 68464-120HLF meets all critical substitution criteria within the allowed parameter tolerances for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 68464-120HLF qualifies as a direct substitute for the MTSW-110-09-G-D-440 based on alignment of all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both connectors are active products with current manufacturing status and full compliance certifications.

Key considerations for selection:

• Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification
• Both achieve RoHS compliance, with the 68464-120HLF offering broader REACH applicability
• The 68464-120HLF operates across an extended temperature range (-65°C ~ 130°C) compared to the MTSW-110-09-G-D-440 (-55°C ~ 125°C), providing additional thermal margin in applications requiring lower minimum or higher maximum operating temperatures
• Contact length variations (mating and overall) fall within acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard board-to-board interconnect applications
• Both connectors employ identical pitch spacing, row configuration, and contact geometry, ensuring mechanical compatibility with mating receptacles designed for either part number

Selection between these parts depends on availability, packaging requirements, and specific thermal operating conditions of the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 68464-120HLF be used as a direct replacement for the MTSW-110-09-G-D-440 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), row configuration (2 rows, 20 positions), contact type (male pin, phosphor bronze with gold finish), and electrical ratings (3A). Mechanical compatibility is maintained for standard board-to-board applications. Contact length variations are within acceptable tolerances for typical PCB mounting.

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

A: The primary differences are manufacturer source (Samtec vs. Amphenol ICC), product series (Flex Stack, MTSW vs. BERGSTIK® II), operating temperature range (MTSW-110-09-G-D-440: -55°C ~ 125°C; 68464-120HLF: -65°C ~ 130°C), contact finish thickness specifications, and packaging format (bulk vs. bag). Both maintain equivalent electrical performance and compliance ratings.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns with the contact length differences?

A: Contact length variations between the MTSW-110-09-G-D-440 (0.440" mating / 0.730" overall) and 68464-120HLF (0.430" mating / 0.650" overall) are within standard tolerances for rectangular connector applications. These differences do not affect compatibility with standard mating receptacles or PCB mounting procedures.

Q: Which part should be selected for applications requiring extended temperature operation?

A: The 68464-120HLF supports a wider operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 130°C) compared to the MTSW-110-09-G-D-440 (-55°C ~ 125°C). For applications requiring operation below -55°C or above 125°C, the 68464-120HLF is the appropriate selection.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance and regulatory requirements?

A: Both connectors achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification, and RoHS compliance. The 68464-120HLF additionally carries REACH Affected status, while the MTSW-110-09-G-D-440 is REACH Unaffected. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040.

Q: What packaging formats are available for each part?

A: The MTSW-110-09-G-D-440 is supplied in bulk packaging with 622 units in stock. The 68464-120HLF is supplied in bag packaging with 935 units in stock. Packaging selection may depend on inventory management and handling requirements.
