Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TLW-117-05-L-D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and series (Flex Stack, TLW header)
• Position count (34) and row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (through-hole solder termination)
• Current rating (5.2A per contact minimum)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C)
• Contact material and insulation material specifications
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1)

The identified substitute TLW-117-05-G-D maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters within these boundaries, differing only in contact finish specifications that do not affect functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TLW-117-05-L-D and TLW-117-05-G-D are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 certification. The parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and application-specific requirements related to contact finish specifications. Both parts maintain full compliance with stated certifications and operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if TLW-117-05-G-D can substitute for TLW-117-05-L-D?

A: Substitution is valid when the connector maintains identical position count (34), row configuration (2 rows), mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through-hole solder), current rating (5.2A per contact), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). Both parts meet these criteria.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns between these parts?

A: No. Both connectors share identical contact dimensions, insulation height, overall contact length, and board-to-board spacing. Through-hole mounting and solder termination specifications are identical, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do these parts have different electrical performance?

A: No. Both parts carry identical current ratings (5.2A per contact), operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and use identical contact materials (phosphor bronze) and insulation materials (LCP).

Q: What is the difference between TLW-117-05-L-D and TLW-117-05-G-D?

A: The parts differ in contact finish specifications. TLW-117-05-G-D specifies contact finish thickness on mating surfaces (10.0µin / 0.25µm) and post surfaces (flash), while TLW-117-05-L-D does not specify these thickness values. Both maintain gold plating on mating surfaces.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both TLW-117-05-L-D and TLW-117-05-G-D are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) ratings.

Q: Can I use these connectors in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C, supporting applications within this temperature range.
