TSS-105-01-S-D-LL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSS-105-01-S-D-LL is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., part of the Flex Stack TSS series. This through-hole mounted connector features 10 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, designed for board-to-board or cable interconnection applications. The connector is actively produced and maintains full inventory availability with 690 pieces in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the core specifications, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the original part becomes unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSS-105-01-S-D-LL is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header) and contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count (10) and row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm) and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Contact finish on mating surface (Gold)
• Operating temperature compatibility
• Regulatory compliance (UL94 V-0, RoHS)

The substitute part 5103309-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets these core criteria, enabling functional equivalence in applications requiring identical mechanical and electrical interface characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSS-105-01-S-D-LL and 5103309-1 maintain active product status and comply with UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS standards. The primary distinction lies in operating temperature range: the Samtec part supports -55°C to 125°C, while the TE Connectivity substitute operates within -65°C to 105°C. Selection between these parts depends on the specific thermal requirements of the application. For applications requiring the full upper temperature range of 125°C, the TSS-105-01-S-D-LL is the appropriate choice. For applications operating within the TE Connectivity range, the 5103309-1 provides equivalent functionality. Both parts feature identical mating pitch, row configuration, shrouding, and fastening mechanisms, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in standard 2.54mm pitch header applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a connector can substitute for the TSS-105-01-S-D-LL?

A: Substitute connectors must match the core specifications: 10-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing, through-hole mounting, shrouded 4-wall design, push-pull fastening, and gold-plated mating contacts. Compliance with UL94 V-0 and RoHS standards is required.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns between the TSS-105-01-S-D-LL and 5103309-1?

A: Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), position count (10), and shrouding configuration (4-wall). Mechanical compatibility is maintained for standard PCB mounting and mating applications.

Q: What is the difference in contact material between these parts?

A: The TSS-105-01-S-D-LL uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the 5103309-1 uses brass contacts. Both materials are suitable for standard signal and power applications with equivalent contact finish specifications (30.0µin gold plating on mating surfaces).

Q: How do the operating temperature ranges differ?

A: The TSS-105-01-S-D-LL operates from -55°C to 125°C, while the 5103309-1 operates from -65°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation above 105°C must use the Samtec part. Applications within the TE Connectivity range can use either part.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The TSS-105-01-S-D-LL is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 5103309-1 is supplied in tray packaging. This distinction affects handling and storage but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TSS-105-01-S-D-LL is ROHS3 compliant, and the 5103309-1 is RoHS compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.
