Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MTSW-130-08-T-S-295 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part 0022284030 (Molex KK254 series) shares the same mating pitch, contact type, mounting method, termination type, and compliance certifications. However, this part differs in position count (3 positions versus 30 positions) and connector style (breakaway versus cuttable). Position count and connector style are application-specific parameters that determine functional compatibility in the target circuit design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MTSW-130-08-T-S-295 and 0022284030 are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Selection between these parts must be based on the specific position count requirement of the application circuit. The MTSW-130-08-T-S-295 accommodates 30 positions in a single row, while the 0022284030 is limited to 3 positions. The cuttable design of the Samtec connector provides flexibility for custom pin configurations, whereas the Molex breakaway design offers discrete position separation. Both connectors share identical mating pitch, contact material finish, and solder termination specifications, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility at the interface level when position count requirements align.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0022284030 directly replace the MTSW-130-08-T-S-295 in an existing design?

A: Direct replacement is not possible due to position count mismatch. The MTSW-130-08-T-S-295 provides 30 positions, while the 0022284030 provides only 3 positions. Substitution is only valid if the application circuit requires exactly 3 positions and the connector style change from cuttable to breakaway is acceptable.

Q: What are the critical matching parameters for this connector category?

A: Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through hole), and termination type (solder) are the primary parameters that determine mechanical and electrical compatibility. Position count and connector style are application-specific and must match the circuit design requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: The MTSW-130-08-T-S-295 specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The 0022284030 does not provide an operating temperature specification in the available data. Temperature range compatibility must be confirmed through the manufacturer's detailed specifications before substitution.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the MTSW-130-08-T-S-295 and 0022284030 are ROHS3 compliant and carry a UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Both are classified as active products with current production status.

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

A: Cuttable connectors allow custom pin configuration through mechanical separation at designated points along the connector body. Breakaway connectors feature pre-defined separation points for discrete position removal. The choice between these styles depends on the specific mechanical requirements and assembly process of the target application.
