Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TLW-108-06-L-D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count (16 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)
• Mating contact finish (Gold)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Current rating (5.2A per Contact)
• RoHS compliance (ROHS3)
• Moisture sensitivity level (1)

The substitute part TLW-108-06-G-D meets all these criteria and belongs to the same Samtec Flex Stack series, differing only in contact finish specifications where additional detail is provided.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TLW-108-06-L-D and TLW-108-06-G-D are active products from Samtec Inc. within the Flex Stack series. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory availability and lead time requirements
• Contact finish thickness specifications where TLW-108-06-G-D provides documented contact finish thickness values (10.0µin / 0.25µm for mating surface and Flash for post surface), while TLW-108-06-L-D does not specify these values
• Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical characteristics
• Both support the same operating temperature range, current rating, and moisture sensitivity classification

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TLW-108-06-G-D replace TLW-108-06-L-D in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row spacing, mounting method, termination type, contact material, operating temperature range, and current rating. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between TLW-108-06-L-D and TLW-108-06-G-D?

A: The primary difference lies in documented contact finish specifications. TLW-108-06-G-D provides explicit contact finish thickness values (10.0µin / 0.25µm for mating surface and Flash for post surface), while TLW-108-06-L-D does not specify these values in the provided data.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TLW-108-06-L-D and TLW-108-06-G-D are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C, supporting a wide temperature range suitable for industrial and automotive applications.

Q: What is the current-carrying capacity per contact?

A: Both connectors support 5.2A per contact, providing adequate current capacity for standard signal and power distribution applications.
