Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TLW-102-06-S-S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer: Samtec Inc.
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 2
• Number of Rows: 1
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Length - Mating: 0.105" (2.67mm)
• Contact Length - Post: 0.135" (3.43mm)
• Overall Contact Length: 0.300" (7.62mm)
• Insulation Height: 0.060" (1.52mm)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Current Rating: 5.2A per Contact
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL: 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in contact finish specifications (mating and post) and material flammability ratings do not affect functional interchangeability for standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts are active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings. Selection among TLW-102-06-S-S, TLW-102-06-F-S, TLW-102-06-G-S, and MTLW-102-06-G-S-105 is based on contact finish specifications and material certifications:

TLW-102-06-F-S features tin post finish with specified mating finish thickness of 3.00µin (0.076µm), suitable for applications requiring tin termination compatibility.

TLW-102-06-G-S provides gold post finish with 10.0µin (0.25µm) mating finish thickness and flash post finish thickness, offering enhanced corrosion resistance.

MTLW-102-06-G-S-105 is part of the MTLW series with UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, 10.0µin (0.25µm) mating finish thickness, and 3.00µin (0.076µm) post finish thickness, suitable for applications requiring elevated flammability compliance.

All parts support identical electrical performance (5.2A per contact), thermal range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and mechanical configuration (2-position, 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder termination).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TLW-102-06-F-S replace TLW-102-06-S-S in my design?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and current rating. The primary difference is the post finish specification (tin versus unspecified), which does not affect functional interchangeability in standard applications.

Q: What is the difference between TLW-102-06-G-S and MTLW-102-06-G-S-105?

A: Both parts feature gold post finish and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. MTLW-102-06-G-S-105 includes UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and belongs to the MTLW series. Selection depends on flammability compliance requirements for your application.

Q: Are all substitute parts through-hole solder termination?

A: Yes. All listed parts (TLW-102-06-S-S, TLW-102-06-F-S, TLW-102-06-G-S, and MTLW-102-06-G-S-105) use through-hole solder termination with identical contact lengths and insulation height.

Q: Do these parts support the same current rating?

A: Yes. All parts are rated for 5.2A per contact and operate across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Which part should I select for high-reliability applications?

A: Selection is based on compliance requirements. MTLW-102-06-G-S-105 provides UL94 V-0 flammability certification. All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating.

Q: Are inventory levels a factor in part selection?

A: Inventory availability may influence procurement decisions. Current stock levels are: TLW-102-06-G-S (1970 Pcs), TLW-102-06-F-S (1438 Pcs), TLW-102-06-S-S (1143 Pcs), and MTLW-102-06-G-S-105 (1098 Pcs).
