Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TLW-132-06-L-D and TLW-132-06-G-D are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical mechanical, electrical, and environmental specifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 ratings. The TLW-132-06-G-D includes documented contact finish specifications (10.0µin / 0.25µm gold plating on mating surface with flash gold on post), while the TLW-132-06-L-D does not specify these values in the provided data. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and application-specific contact finish requirements. Current inventory shows 1044 units of TLW-132-06-L-D and 691 units of TLW-132-06-G-D in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TLW-132-06-G-D replace TLW-132-06-L-D in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row spacing, contact configuration (64 positions, 2 rows), mounting type (through-hole solder), and electrical ratings (5.2A per contact). Operating temperature range, insulation material, and compliance certifications are identical.

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

A: The primary difference is in documented contact finish specifications. TLW-132-06-G-D explicitly specifies 10.0µin (0.25µm) gold plating on mating surfaces with flash gold on posts. TLW-132-06-L-D does not provide contact finish thickness values in the available data. Both use gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both connectors are from the same Flex Stack TLW series, use identical LCP insulation material, and maintain the same physical and electrical characteristics required for board-to-board or cable interconnection applications.

Q: What is the MSL rating and why does it matter?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity protection. This means no special moisture control measures are required during storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TLW-132-06-L-D and TLW-132-06-G-D are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring lead-free component specifications.
