TLW-112-05-L-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TLW-112-05-L-D is an active Samtec Flex Stack rectangular connector header designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This 24-position, 2-row connector operates across -55°C to 125°C and supports 5.2A per contact with gold-plated mating surfaces. Finding equivalent or substitute parts becomes necessary when managing inventory across production runs, addressing supply chain constraints, or standardizing connector families within a design platform.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TLW-112-05-G-D qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Matching position count and row configuration (24 positions, 2 rows)
• Same connector type, contact type, and mounting method (Header, Male Pin, Through Hole)
• Equivalent current rating (5.2A per Contact)
• Identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Same series family (Flex Stack, TLW)
• Matching RoHS3 compliance and active product status

The primary difference between these parts lies in contact finish specifications: TLW-112-05-L-D specifies contact finish details that differ from TLW-112-05-G-D, which includes explicit gold plating thickness on both mating and post surfaces (10.0µin on mating, Flash on post). Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical performance within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TLW-112-05-L-D and TLW-112-05-G-D are active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory availability and lead time requirements
• Packaging format preference (TLW-112-05-G-D supplied in Bulk packaging)
• Contact finish specification requirements for your application
• Supply chain continuity and cost considerations

Both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards and are suitable for equivalent circuit applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TLW-112-05-G-D be used as a direct replacement for TLW-112-05-L-D?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical parameters including pitch, position count, current rating, operating temperature range, and mounting configuration. The parts are functionally interchangeable within the specified parameter set.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is in contact finish specification. TLW-112-05-G-D explicitly specifies gold plating thickness (10.0µin on mating surface, Flash on post), while TLW-112-05-L-D contact finish details differ. Both maintain equivalent performance characteristics.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: TLW-112-05-L-D packaging is listed as standard, while TLW-112-05-G-D is supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. Both TLW-112-05-L-D and TLW-112-05-G-D are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the mating pitch for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing in a 2-row, 24-position configuration.
