The HTSS-105-04-F-D-RA qualifies as a substitute part based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer vs. Polybutylene Terephthalate) and insulation color do not affect functional compatibility within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSS-105-04-F-D-RA and HTSS-105-04-F-D-RA are Active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and application-specific requirements regarding insulation material properties. The HTSS-105-04-F-D-RA offers higher inventory availability (2070 Pcs vs. 764 Pcs) and utilizes Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation, while the TSS-105-04-F-D-RA employs Polybutylene Terephthalate insulation. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the defined parameter set.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HTSS-105-04-F-D-RA be used as a direct replacement for the TSS-105-04-F-D-RA?

A: Yes. Both parts match across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, mounting orientation, shrouding, contact materials, finishes, and operating temperature range. The difference in insulation material (LCP vs. PBT) does not affect functional compatibility within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation material difference?

A: The TSS-105-04-F-D-RA uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation, while the HTSS-105-04-F-D-RA uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain the same operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Material selection may depend on specific application requirements not defined in the parameter set.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TSS-105-04-F-D-RA and HTSS-105-04-F-D-RA are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the pitch spacing for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing for mating and row spacing, accommodating 10 positions across 2 rows in a through-hole, right-angle configuration.

Q: Are there any differences in contact specifications?

A: No. Both parts share identical contact specifications: Male Pin type, Phosphor Bronze material, Gold mating finish (3.00µin thickness), Tin post finish, 0.250" (6.35mm) mating contact length, and 0.130" (3.30mm) post contact length.
