Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Number of positions: 8
• Mating pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination method: Solder
• Current rating: 5.2A per Contact
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Insulation material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• Series: Flex Stack, TLW
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The TLW-108-06-L-S has one identified substitute within the same series: TLW-108-06-G-S. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical interface parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TLW-108-06-L-S and TLW-108-06-G-S are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level rating. Selection between these parts is based on supply availability and inventory status. The TLW-108-06-L-S currently has 1122 units in stock, while the TLW-108-06-G-S has 1137 units available. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical dimensions, and environmental operating specifications. Either part is suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 8-position, 2.54mm pitch through-hole headers with 5.2A per contact current capacity and -55°C to 125°C operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
