TLW-106-05-L-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TLW-106-05-L-D is an active Samtec Inc. rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 12-position, 2-row connector operates within the Flex Stack TLW series and is configured for board-to-board or cable interconnection. The part maintains ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), making it suitable for industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable solder termination. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, lead time requirements, or specific application constraints while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TLW-106-05-L-D 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 - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Current rating (5.2A per Contact)
• Series (Flex Stack, TLW)

The TLW-106-05-G-D qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share identical base product number (TLW-106), series designation, and functional specifications. Differences in contact finish thickness specifications do not affect substitutability for standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TLW-106-05-L-D and TLW-106-05-G-D maintain active product status with ROHS3 compliance and identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.69.4040). Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements. The TLW-106-05-G-D currently maintains higher inventory levels (1926 Pcs) compared to the TLW-106-05-L-D (849 Pcs), making it suitable for applications with extended procurement timelines or volume requirements. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring rectangular connector headers with 12-position, 2-row through-hole configuration and solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TLW-106-05-G-D be used as a direct replacement for TLW-106-05-L-D?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including pitch, row spacing, contact material, insulation material, operating temperature range, and current rating. They are functionally equivalent for board-to-board and cable interconnection applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two part numbers?

A: The parts differ in contact finish thickness specifications. TLW-106-05-G-D specifies 10.0µin (0.25µm) mating contact finish thickness and flash post contact finish, while TLW-106-05-L-D does not specify these thickness values. These differences do not affect functional compatibility or performance in standard applications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical compliance status: ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 (Unlimited), and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The TLW-106-05-G-D includes REACH Unaffected status documentation.

Q: What factors should determine part selection?

A: Selection should be based on inventory availability and procurement lead time. The TLW-106-05-G-D offers higher current stock levels. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 12-position, 2-row through-hole rectangular connectors with 2.54mm pitch and solder termination.

Q: Are these parts compatible with the same mating connectors?

A: Yes. Both parts are members of the Flex Stack TLW series and share identical mating specifications (0.100" pitch, 0.100" row spacing, male pin contact type). They are compatible with the same receptacle and cable assembly options.
