SQW-108-01-L-D-VS-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SQW-108-01-L-D-VS-TR is a 16-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for surface mount board-to-board or cable applications. This connector features a 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch with gold-plated mating contacts and is rated for 3.8A per contact across an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative packaging options and availability while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SQW-108-01-L-D-VS-TR is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), number of positions (16), pitch (0.079"), number of rows (2), row spacing (0.079"), mounting type (surface mount), contact type (forked), contact finish (gold), current rating (3.8A per contact), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), insulation material (LCP), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). All substitute parts maintain these specifications. Differences are limited to packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and minor feature variations that do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between SQW-108-01-L-D-VS-TR and SQW-108-01-L-D-VS-K-TR is determined by packaging preference, as both are supplied in Tape & Reel format. The SQW-108-01-L-D-VS-A-K-TR provides an alternative in Cut Tape packaging and includes board guide and pick-and-place features. Component selection should be based on manufacturing process requirements and packaging compatibility with assembly equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these parts electrically interchangeable? A: Yes. All three parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 16-position configuration, 0.079" pitch, 3.8A per contact current rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging? A: Tape & Reel packaging is supplied on continuous tape for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape packaging is supplied in individual tape segments. Selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and production volume requirements.

Q: Can SQW-108-01-L-D-VS-A-K-TR replace SQW-108-01-L-D-VS-TR in existing designs? A: Yes, provided the assembly process supports Cut Tape packaging. The connector maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts? A: No. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and carry identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) and REACH status classifications.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this connector series? A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters remain constant: connector type, number of positions, pitch, number of rows, row spacing, mounting type, contact type, contact finish, current rating, operating temperature range, insulation material, and flammability rating. Packaging format and minor feature additions do not affect substitution eligibility.
