TLW-106-05-G-D-01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TLW-106-05-G-D-01 is an active Samtec Inc. rectangular connector header from the Flex Stack TLW series. This through-hole mounted connector features 12 positions in a 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, designed for board-to-board or cable applications. The connector employs push-pull fastening with gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts rated at 5.2A per contact. With 1067 pieces currently in stock and ROHS3 compliance, this component serves as a standard interconnect solution for applications requiring reliable low-profile mating interfaces. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures design flexibility and supply chain continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TLW-106-05-G-D-01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (12)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm mating and row spacing)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Current rating (5.2A per contact)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)

The substitute part TLW-106-05-G-D-08 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters. The difference between the main part and substitute lies in packaging configuration only, with TLW-106-05-G-D-01 supplied in standard packaging and TLW-106-05-G-D-08 supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts share the same base product number (TLW-106) and series designation (Flex Stack, TLW).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TLW-106-05-G-D-01 and TLW-106-05-G-D-08 are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability.

TLW-106-05-G-D-01 is supplied in standard packaging configuration. TLW-106-05-G-D-08 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, making them suitable for standard manufacturing and storage conditions without special handling requirements.

Current inventory levels show 1067 pieces of TLW-106-05-G-D-01 and 1077 pieces of TLW-106-05-G-D-08 in stock. Selection may be driven by procurement volume requirements, packaging preferences for assembly operations, or supply chain logistics considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TLW-106-05-G-D-01 and TLW-106-05-G-D-08 electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical and mechanical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, current rating, operating temperature range, contact materials, and finishes. The only difference is packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between standard and bulk packaging for these connectors?

A: Standard packaging (TLW-106-05-G-D-01) and bulk packaging (TLW-106-05-G-D-08) differ in quantity per package and protective wrapping. Bulk packaging typically offers cost advantages for high-volume procurement but may require different handling during assembly operations.

Q: Can I substitute TLW-106-05-G-D-08 for TLW-106-05-G-D-01 in an existing design?

A: Yes. Since all electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, TLW-106-05-G-D-08 is a direct substitute for TLW-106-05-G-D-01. No design modifications are required.

Q: What does the MSL Level 1 rating mean for these connectors?

A: MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates these connectors have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture control storage conditions. They can be stored in standard warehouse environments without desiccant packaging or humidity monitoring.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both TLW-106-05-G-D-01 and TLW-106-05-G-D-08 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting all restricted substance requirements for European and global markets.

Q: What is the current rating per contact for these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated at 5.2A per contact, supporting applications requiring moderate current distribution across multiple signal or power paths.
