Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TLW-103-06-S-D are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 6
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Current Rating: 5.2A per Contact
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The three identified substitute parts (TLW-103-06-G-D, MTLW-103-06-G-D-105, and TLW-103-06-G-D-LL) maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations exist only in contact finish specifications and material flammability ratings, which do not affect functional interchangeability for standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with the main part TLW-103-06-S-D. The three substitute options are functionally equivalent for applications requiring 6-position, 2-row, 2.54mm pitch through-hole connector headers with phosphor bronze contacts and LCP insulation.

TLW-103-06-G-D and TLW-103-06-G-D-LL are both members of the TLW series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the main part. MTLW-103-06-G-D-105 belongs to the MTLW series variant and includes UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, providing enhanced flame resistance for applications requiring higher safety standards.

Selection between substitute parts should be based on series preference (TLW versus MTLW), specific flammability requirements, and contact finish specifications for post termination. All parts support the same operating temperature range, current capacity, and moisture sensitivity classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TLW-103-06-G-D be used as a direct replacement for TLW-103-06-S-D?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row spacing, mounting method, and contact specifications. The primary difference is in contact finish post specification, which does not affect functional interchangeability.

Q: What is the difference between the TLW and MTLW series options?

A: MTLW-103-06-G-D-105 is part of the MTLW series and includes UL94 V-0 material flammability rating. The TLW series variants (TLW-103-06-G-D and TLW-103-06-G-D-LL) do not specify this rating. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts, including the main part TLW-103-06-S-D, are ROHS3 compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) classification.

Q: What is the difference between TLW-103-06-G-D and TLW-103-06-G-D-LL?

A: Both parts are members of the TLW series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference lies in contact finish post specification: TLW-103-06-G-D specifies Flash finish, while TLW-103-06-G-D-LL also specifies Flash finish. Both maintain the same 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and 6-position configuration.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. All parts, including the main part and substitutes, support operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C, making them suitable for industrial and automotive applications within this range.

Q: What is the current capacity per contact?

A: All parts in this comparison carry a current rating of 5.2A per contact, ensuring consistent electrical performance across all equivalent and substitute options.
