Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSS-107-02-L-D-LL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins, 14 positions in 2 rows
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole mounting with kinked pin solder termination
• Shrouding & Fastening: Shrouded 4-wall design with push-pull fastening
• Contact Materials & Finish: Phosphor bronze with gold mating finish and tin post finish
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1

The substitute part TST-107-02-L-D-LL shares all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with the main part, with the exception of series designation (TST vs. TSS) and application style (board to cable/wire vs. board to board or cable). The insulation material specification includes glass-filled PBT in the substitute, representing a material enhancement rather than a deviation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSS-107-02-L-D-LL and TST-107-02-L-D-LL maintain active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The parts are functionally equivalent across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The TST-107-02-L-D-LL features glass-filled PBT insulation material, which provides enhanced mechanical properties compared to standard PBT. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements regarding insulation material composition and intended mating interface (board-to-board/cable vs. board-to-cable/wire).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TST-107-02-L-D-LL be used as a direct replacement for TSS-107-02-L-D-LL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and termination specifications. The primary difference is the series designation and insulation material composition. The glass-filled PBT in the TST variant provides enhanced mechanical properties.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors for these connectors?

A: Compatibility is determined by the 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch specification, 14-position 2-row configuration, male pin contact type, and push-pull fastening mechanism. Both parts meet these requirements identically.

Q: Are there any environmental or compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What is the significance of the glass-filled PBT insulation in the TST-107-02-L-D-LL?

A: Glass-filled PBT provides improved mechanical strength and dimensional stability compared to standard PBT. This enhancement does not affect electrical performance or compatibility but may be beneficial in applications requiring higher mechanical robustness.

Q: How do the series designations (TSS vs. TST) affect part selection?

A: Series designation reflects the product line within Samtec's Flex Stack family. The TSS series is specified for board-to-board or cable applications, while the TST series is specified for board-to-cable/wire applications. Electrical and mechanical compatibility remains unchanged.
