TLW-114-06-S-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TLW-114-06-S-S is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., part of the Flex Stack and TLW series. This through-hole connector features 14 positions with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing and is designed for board-to-board or cable applications. The connector is currently in active product status with 959 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the same connector category, allowing for component interchangeability in applications where specific finish or series variations are acceptable.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TLW-114-06-S-S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector type (Header)
Contact type (Male Pin)
Number of positions (14)
Number of rows (1)
Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Mounting method (Through Hole)
Termination type (Solder)
Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
Current rating (5.2A per Contact)
RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

Variations in contact finish specifications, finish thickness, and series designation (TLW vs. MTLW) do not affect functional interchangeability when these core parameters remain constant. The identified substitute parts maintain all critical electrical and mechanical characteristics required for direct component replacement.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three connector variants—TLW-114-06-S-S, MTLW-114-06-S-S-105, and TLW-114-06-G-S—maintain active product status with Samtec Inc. and are ROHS3 compliant. Each part carries MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

The TLW-114-06-S-S and TLW-114-06-G-S share the same base series (TLW) and differ only in contact finish specifications. The MTLW-114-06-S-S-105 belongs to the MTLW series but maintains identical electrical and mechanical characteristics. Selection between these parts should be based on specific finish requirements and series compatibility with existing component inventories, as all three parts satisfy the core functional requirements for 14-position, 2.54mm pitch header applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MTLW-114-06-S-S-105 be used as a direct replacement for TLW-114-06-S-S?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including pitch spacing, number of positions, contact material, insulation material, operating temperature range, and current rating. The series designation change (TLW to MTLW) does not affect functional interchangeability.

Q: What is the difference between TLW-114-06-S-S and TLW-114-06-G-S?

A: The primary difference is contact finish specification. TLW-114-06-S-S features gold mating finish with unspecified thickness, while TLW-114-06-G-S specifies 10.0µin (0.25µm) gold mating finish and flash gold post finish. Both maintain the same connector geometry and electrical performance.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting between these parts?

A: No compatibility concerns exist when substituting between these three parts. All maintain identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact geometry, mounting type (through-hole solder), and insulation material (LCP). Board layout and mating connector designs remain fully compatible across all three variants.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates these connectors have no moisture sensitivity limitations. They can be stored indefinitely without desiccant packaging or environmental controls, simplifying inventory management and reducing handling constraints.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All three connectors are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. They are suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance in equivalent jurisdictions.
