TSS-105-01-G-D-01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSS-105-01-G-D-01 is a shrouded rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting in board-to-board or cable applications. This 10-position, 2-row connector operates across the industrial temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and features gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts with push-pull fastening. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for modern electronic assemblies requiring reliable interconnection with keying slot protection.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when addressing supply chain constraints, design optimization for specific application requirements, or when alternative insulation materials or contact ratings better suit system performance parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TSS-105-01-G-D-01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), and mating interface (10 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" pitch)
Mounting method (Through Hole) and termination type (Solder)
Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall) and fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
Contact geometry (Square shape, 0.250" mating length, 0.115" post length)
Contact material (Phosphor Bronze) and finish (Gold plating)
Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
Compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0)

Substitute parts within the Samtec Flex Stack family maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in insulation material (PBT, PBT Glass Filled, or LCP) and current rating specifications do not preclude substitution when the application does not impose material-specific constraints.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring continued availability and regulatory alignment with modern electronics manufacturing standards. The TSS series variants (TSS-105-01-G-D-09, TSS-105-01-G-D-10) share identical insulation material and electrical specifications with the primary part TSS-105-01-G-D-01, providing direct functional equivalence.

The TST series parts (TST-105-01-G-D-01, TST-105-01-G-D-03, TST-105-01-G-D-05, TST-105-01-G-D-06, TST-105-01-G-D-07, TST-105-01-G-D-08, TST-105-01-G-D-09) incorporate glass-filled PBT insulation and specify a current rating of 3.4A per contact, offering enhanced mechanical properties and explicit electrical performance documentation. These parts are suitable for applications where insulation material robustness or current rating specification is required.

The HTST-105-01-G-D-01 employs Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation with a current rating of 3.4A per contact, providing superior thermal and chemical resistance characteristics. This variant is appropriate for high-temperature or chemically aggressive environments where LCP material properties provide operational advantages.

All substitute parts share identical mechanical interfaces, contact geometry, and mating specifications, ensuring PCB footprint and connector compatibility without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TST series parts directly replace TSS-105-01-G-D-01 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The TST series maintains identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and contact geometry. The primary difference is insulation material composition (glass-filled PBT versus standard PBT) and explicit current rating specification (3.4A per contact). These differences do not preclude mechanical or electrical substitution when the application does not impose material-specific constraints.

Q: What is the functional difference between PBT and glass-filled PBT insulation?

A: Glass-filled PBT provides enhanced mechanical strength and dimensional stability compared to standard PBT. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Selection depends on application-specific mechanical stress or thermal cycling requirements.

Q: Is the HTST-105-01-G-D-01 suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: The HTST-105-01-G-D-01 operates across the same temperature range as other variants (-55°C to 125°C). The LCP insulation material provides superior chemical resistance and dimensional stability at elevated temperatures within this range. Selection should be based on specific environmental exposure rather than temperature range alone.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: All listed parts are supplied in Bulk packaging, consistent with the primary part TSS-105-01-G-D-01. Packaging format does not vary across the substitute list.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating specification on TST and HTST variants?

A: The TST and HTST series explicitly specify 3.4A per contact current rating, providing documented electrical performance for applications requiring current capacity verification. The TSS series does not specify current rating in the provided data. When current capacity documentation is required for design validation or compliance purposes, TST or HTST variants provide explicit specification.

Q: Can parts from different series (TSS, TST, HTST) be mixed in the same assembly?

A: Yes. All parts maintain identical mating interface specifications, contact geometry, and mechanical compatibility. Series designation reflects internal design variations (insulation material, contact rating documentation) rather than connector interface differences. Mixed-series usage does not introduce compatibility issues.
