Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TLW-105-05-L-S and TLW-105-05-G-S are active products within the Samtec Flex Stack TLW series. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage protocols. The parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters, supporting direct substitution in applications requiring 5-position, 0.100" pitch through-hole headers with 5.2A per contact current capacity and -55°C to 125°C operating range. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability or supply chain considerations, as no functional differentiation exists between them.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TLW-105-05-G-S replace TLW-105-05-L-S in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including pitch, contact configuration, current rating, operating temperature range, and mounting type. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

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

A: Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts. The TLW-105-05-G-S specifies additional detail on contact finish thickness (10.0µin / 0.25µm) and post finish (Flash), while the TLW-105-05-L-S does not provide these secondary specifications. This represents a documentation difference rather than a functional difference.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for TLW-105-05-L-S?

A: Substitution is determined by maintaining equivalence across critical parameters: 5-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, male pin contact type, square contact shape, through-hole mounting, solder termination, 5.2A per contact current rating, -55°C to 125°C operating temperature, phosphor bronze contact material, and LCP insulation material.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same environmental conditions?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.

Q: What is the base product number for these connectors?

A: The base product number is TLW-105, which encompasses the 5-position variant family within the Flex Stack series.
