MTSW-116-07-G-S-210 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MTSW-116-07-G-S-210 is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. in the Flex Stack, MTSW series. This through-hole connector features 16 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with gold-plated mating contacts and phosphor bronze material. The part is actively produced and widely used in board-to-board and cable interconnect applications requiring reliable solder termination and push-pull fastening.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching core electrical and mechanical parameters: 16-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole mounting, solder termination, push-pull fastening, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitutes may vary in contact finish, contact length specifications, insulation material, and manufacturer series while maintaining functional compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following core parameters that must match or be compatible with the MTSW-116-07-G-S-210:

16-position configuration
0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
Single row layout
Male pin contact type
Through-hole mounting
Solder termination
Push-pull fastening mechanism
Unshrouded design
UL94 V-0 flammability rating

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and meet or exceed the compliance requirements of the MTSW-116-07-G-S-210. Selection among substitutes should be based on the following factors:

Contact Finish Considerations: The MTSW-116-07-G-S-210 features gold-plated mating contacts. Molex 0022284160 and 0022284163 provide gold finish options with varying thickness specifications. Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II series parts (68000-116HLF, 68000-216HLF, 68001-116HLF, 77311-101-16LF, 77311-102-16LF) offer gold or gold GXT™ finishes. Amphenol ICC 68000-416HLF and 68001-416HLF provide tin-plated alternatives.

Contact Length Specifications: Post length varies across substitutes. The MTSW-116-07-G-S-210 specifies 0.120" (3.05mm) post length. Amphenol ICC 68001-116HLF and 68001-416HLF match this specification. Amphenol ICC 68000-series and 77311-101-16LF specify 0.095" (2.41mm) post length. Amphenol ICC 77311-102-16LF specifies 0.135" (3.43mm) post length. Molex parts specify 0.125" (3.18mm) post length.

Temperature Range: The MTSW-116-07-G-S-210 operates from -55°C to 125°C. Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® series substitutes extend the lower operating limit to -65°C, providing broader temperature coverage.

RoHS and Compliance: All parts are RoHS compliant. The MTSW-116-07-G-S-210 is ROHS3 compliant. Molex substitutes are ROHS3 compliant. Amphenol ICC parts are RoHS compliant. All parts are REACH unaffected or REACH affected as specified, with EAR99 ECCN classification and matching HTSUS codes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the MTSW-116-07-G-S-210 with a Molex KK254 series connector?

A: Yes. Molex 0022284160 and 0022284163 are functionally compatible substitutes. Both maintain the 16-position, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch configuration, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The primary differences are contact finish (tin vs. gold) and post length (0.125" vs. 0.120"). Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

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

A: BERGSTIK® II series (68000-series and 68001-series) and BERGSTIK® series (77311-series) are distinct product lines from Amphenol ICC. Both maintain the core 16-position, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch specification and are functionally compatible with the MTSW-116-07-G-S-210. BERGSTIK® II parts are available with gold or tin finishes. BERGSTIK® parts (77311-series) feature thermoplastic insulation material and mixed contact finishes (gold mating, tin post).

Q: Does contact finish thickness affect substitution compatibility?

A: Contact finish thickness does not prevent functional substitution when the core electrical and mechanical parameters match. The MTSW-116-07-G-S-210 specifies 10.0µin (0.25µm) gold mating finish. Substitute parts vary from 15.0µin to 100.0µin depending on finish type and manufacturer. All listed substitutes meet UL94 V-0 flammability and RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitutes?

A: Yes. The MTSW-116-07-G-S-210 is supplied in bulk packaging. Molex 0022284160 and 0022284163 are supplied in bulk. Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II series (68000-series and 68001-series) are supplied in bag packaging. Amphenol ICC 77311-101-16LF is supplied in bag packaging. Amphenol ICC 77311-102-16LF is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the "cuttable" designation on the MTSW-116-07-G-S-210?

A: The MTSW-116-07-G-S-210 is designated as a cuttable header, indicating the connector can be cut to reduce the number of positions. Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II series parts are designated as standard headers without the cuttable feature. This design difference does not prevent functional substitution in applications where the full 16-position configuration is required.

Q: Can I use tin-plated substitutes in place of the gold-plated MTSW-116-07-G-S-210?

A: Tin-plated substitutes (Amphenol ICC 68000-416HLF and 68001-416HLF) are functionally compatible alternatives. Both maintain the 16-position, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole solder termination, and 3A current rating. Contact finish material does not affect core electrical compatibility. Selection should be based on application requirements and environmental conditions.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for substitute parts?

A: The MTSW-116-07-G-S-210 operates from -55°C to 125°C. Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® and BERGSTIK® II series substitutes extend the lower operating limit to -65°C, providing a broader temperature range of -65°C to 125°C. Molex KK254 series operating temperature is not specified in the provided data. All parts maintain the 125°C upper limit.
