TLW-110-01-L-S-RA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TLW-110-01-L-S-RA is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., part of the Flex Stack TLW series. This through-hole, right-angle connector features 10 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is designed for board-to-board or cable applications. The part is currently active in production with 1086 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and design continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative contact finish specifications are acceptable for the application.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector headers within the TLW series is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer and series consistency (Samtec Inc., Flex Stack TLW)
• Connector type and contact type (Header, Male Pin)
• Number of positions and pitch (10 positions, 0.100" mating pitch)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Contact material and base electrical properties (Phosphor Bronze, 5.2A per contact)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1)

The substitute part TLW-110-01-G-S-RA meets all these criteria. The primary difference is in the contact finish specification details, where the substitute provides explicit contact finish thickness values (10.0µin / 0.25µm on mating surface, Flash on post surface) compared to the main part's unspecified finish thickness. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical performance characteristics within the allowed parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TLW-110-01-L-S-RA and TLW-110-01-G-S-RA are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, making them suitable for equivalent selection. The substitute part TLW-110-01-G-S-RA provides documented contact finish specifications on both mating and post surfaces, offering additional clarity for applications requiring explicit finish thickness verification. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance (5.2A per contact), mechanical configuration (10-position, 0.100" pitch, through-hole right-angle), and thermal operating range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Selection between these parts depends on procurement availability and whether the application requires explicit contact finish thickness documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TLW-110-01-G-S-RA be used as a direct replacement for TLW-110-01-L-S-RA?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical within the specified parameters. The substitute part provides explicit contact finish thickness values (10.0µin mating, Flash post) compared to the main part's unspecified finish thickness. This difference does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitutability for this connector header?

A: Substitutability is determined by: manufacturer (Samtec Inc.), series (Flex Stack TLW), connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), number of positions (10), mating pitch (0.100"), mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), contact material (Phosphor Bronze), current rating (5.2A per contact), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. The substitute part includes additional REACH Unaffected status documentation.

Q: Does the contact finish thickness difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. Both parts use gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts with identical electrical characteristics. The documented finish thickness on the substitute part provides specification clarity but does not alter performance parameters.

Q: What is the packaging configuration for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging as standard for this connector series.
