Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TLW-105-05-L-D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count (10 positions)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Current rating (5.2A per Contact)
• Compliance status (RoHS3, MSL 1)

The substitute parts TLW-105-05-G-D and MTLW-105-05-G-D-105 maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in contact finish specifications and series designation do not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and full RoHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating. Selection between TLW-105-05-L-D, TLW-105-05-G-D, and MTLW-105-05-G-D-105 is based on availability and series preference rather than functional differences. The MTLW-105-05-G-D-105 variant includes UL94 V-0 flammability rating, which may be required for specific applications. Contact finish thickness specifications differ between parts but do not affect standard electrical performance. Current inventory levels are 994 units (TLW-105-05-L-D), 1093 units (TLW-105-05-G-D), and 655 units (MTLW-105-05-G-D-105).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TLW-105-05-G-D be used as a direct replacement for TLW-105-05-L-D?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including pitch, row spacing, contact material, insulation material, current rating, and operating temperature range. The parts are functionally equivalent for standard applications.

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

A: The MTLW-105-05-G-D-105 belongs to the MTLW series and includes UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The TLW-105-05-L-D and TLW-105-05-G-D are part of the TLW series. All three maintain identical mating pitch, row spacing, contact configuration, and current ratings.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish between these parts?

A: Contact finish material is gold on all three parts. Contact finish thickness on the mating surface is specified as 10.0µin (0.25µm) for TLW-105-05-G-D and MTLW-105-05-G-D-105. Post finish thickness is specified as Flash for TLW-105-05-G-D and 3.00µin (0.076µm) for MTLW-105-05-G-D-105. These variations do not affect standard electrical performance.

Q: Do all three parts support the same current rating?

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

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: All three parts are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. The MTLW-105-05-G-D-105 includes UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Compliance certifications are provided; application-specific requirements must be evaluated independently.
