SL-105-T-10 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SL-105-T-10 is a 5-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch through-hole mounting. This connector features gold-plated female socket contacts and is currently active in production. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, design revisions, or end-of-life considerations for related variants within the SL series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SL-105-T-10 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of positions: 5
• Pitch - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector type: Receptacle
• Contact type: Female Socket
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Insulation material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Contact material: Beryllium Copper
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The SL-105-G-10 meets all substitution criteria as a variant within the same SL series base product number (SL-105), maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications for mating interface and board integration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SL-105-T-10 is the preferred selection for new designs due to its active product status. The SL-105-G-10 is electrically and mechanically equivalent and maintains full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. However, the SL-105-G-10 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, limiting availability for procurement. Both parts share identical mating interface specifications, insulation geometry, and operating characteristics, making them functionally interchangeable at the board level. Selection between these variants should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SL-105-G-10 be used as a direct replacement for the SL-105-T-10?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (5), contact geometry, insulation material, and operating temperature range. They are mechanically and electrically equivalent for board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the difference between the SL-105-T-10 and SL-105-G-10?

A: The primary difference is product status. The SL-105-T-10 is active in production, while the SL-105-G-10 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the mating interface. The SL-105-G-10 specifies gold plating on the post contact finish (10.0µin), whereas the SL-105-T-10 does not specify this parameter.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Both carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What should I consider when selecting between these parts?

A: Prioritize the SL-105-T-10 for new designs due to active production status and assured long-term availability. Use the SL-105-G-10 only if inventory constraints require substitution, as it is discontinued and subject to limited stock availability.

Q: Are the through-hole solder terminations compatible with standard PCB assembly processes?

A: Yes. Both connectors use standard solder termination for through-hole mounting and are compatible with conventional wave soldering and reflow processes used in PCB assembly.
