Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the SLW10S-1C7 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 10 positions at 0.039" (1.00mm) pitch
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole vertical orientation, 1-sided contact arrangement
• Electrical Ratings: 100V voltage rating and 1A current rating per contact
• Mechanical Interface: 0.217" (5.50mm) height above board, slide lock mechanism, ZIF operation
• Material & Finish: Phosphor bronze contacts with tin alloy finish, polyamide housing and actuator
• Flammability: UL94 V-0 material rating
• Mating Cycles: 20 cycles minimum

The substitute part SLW10S-1C7LF meets all these criteria while offering improved compliance status and expanded inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SLW10S-1C7LF is a direct functional equivalent to the SLW10S-1C7 across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both connectors share identical position count, pitch, mounting configuration, voltage and current ratings, and mechanical interface specifications.

Key differences between the parts are:

Operating Temperature Range: The SLW10S-1C7 supports -55°C to 105°C, while the SLW10S-1C7LF supports -55°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation above 85°C must retain the original SLW10S-1C7.

RoHS Compliance: The SLW10S-1C7LF is RoHS compliant, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. For designs subject to RoHS requirements, the SLW10S-1C7LF is the appropriate selection.

Inventory & Packaging: The SLW10S-1C7LF offers significantly higher stock availability (4529 units versus 902 units) and is packaged in trays, supporting higher-volume procurement and assembly operations.

For applications operating within the -55°C to 85°C temperature range without RoHS exemptions, the SLW10S-1C7LF is the preferred substitute due to improved compliance status and superior availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SLW10S-1C7LF be used as a direct replacement for SLW10S-1C7 in all applications?

A: The SLW10S-1C7LF is functionally equivalent for applications operating within -55°C to 85°C. If your application requires operation above 85°C, the original SLW10S-1C7 must be retained. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: What is the difference between "Tin Alloy" and "Tin" contact finish?

A: Both designations refer to tin-based contact finishes. The specifications provided do not detail compositional differences between these finishes. Both parts maintain equivalent contact material (phosphor bronze) and are suitable for the same electrical applications.

Q: Why does the SLW10S-1C7LF have a narrower operating temperature range?

A: The operating temperature range difference reflects the certified performance envelope for each part variant. The SLW10S-1C7LF is rated to 85°C maximum, while the original part is rated to 105°C. This is a material or design specification difference between the variants.

Q: Is the SLW10S-1C7LF RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the SLW10S-1C7LF is RoHS compliant. The original SLW10S-1C7 is RoHS non-compliant. For designs requiring RoHS compliance, the SLW10S-1C7LF is the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The SLW10S-1C7 packaging is not specified in the provided data. The SLW10S-1C7LF is packaged in trays, which is standard for higher-volume production and assembly operations.

Q: Are there any differences in mating cycles or mechanical durability?

A: Both parts are rated for 20 mating cycles. All mechanical specifications, including height above board, locking mechanism, and ZIF operation, are identical.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs, the SLW10S-1C7LF is the recommended selection, provided your application operates within -55°C to 85°C. It offers RoHS compliance, superior inventory availability, and identical functional performance across all other parameters.
