Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is strictly determined by matching the following electrical and mechanical connector parameters: manufacturer (Samtec Inc.), connector series (Flex Stack, TLW), connector type (header, through hole, male pin), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), number of positions/rows, row spacing, style, shrouding, mounting type, termination, fastening, contact and insulation material, operational temperature, current rating, RoHS compliance, and mechanical dimensions. Only parts fully matching these criteria, as listed, are grouped as substitutes.
