Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSS-107-04-L-D-RA-13 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 14
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The TST-107-04-L-D-RA-06 meets all critical substitution criteria. The primary distinction is the Style parameter: TSS-107-04-L-D-RA-13 is configured for Board to Board or Cable applications, while TST-107-04-L-D-RA-06 is configured for Board to Cable/Wire applications. This difference reflects connector interface design but does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility when mating with appropriate counterparts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TSS-107-04-L-D-RA-13 and TST-107-04-L-D-RA-06 are Active status products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain ROHS3 compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific interface requirements. The TSS-107-04-L-D-RA-13 is designated for board-to-board or cable connectivity, while the TST-107-04-L-D-RA-06 is designated for board-to-cable/wire connectivity. The TST-107-04-L-D-RA-06 features glass-filled PBT insulation material, which provides enhanced mechanical and thermal properties compared to standard PBT. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including pitch, contact geometry, termination method, and operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TST-107-04-L-D-RA-06 be used as a direct replacement for TSS-107-04-L-D-RA-13?

A: Yes, when the application interface is compatible with board-to-cable/wire connectivity. Both parts share identical contact pitch (0.100"), number of positions (14), row configuration (2 rows), contact materials, finishes, and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The primary difference is the connector style designation and insulation material composition.

Q: What is the significance of the glass-filled PBT insulation in TST-107-04-L-D-RA-06?

A: Glass-filled PBT provides improved mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and thermal performance compared to standard PBT. This material enhancement does not affect electrical compatibility but may provide superior performance in applications requiring enhanced structural rigidity or thermal cycling resistance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both TSS-107-04-L-D-RA-13 and TST-107-04-L-D-RA-06 are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and consumer applications.

Q: What does the keying slot feature provide?

A: The keying slot prevents incorrect mating orientation, ensuring proper connector alignment during assembly and reducing installation errors.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for these parts?

A: TSS-107-04-L-D-RA-13 has 1132 pieces in stock, while TST-107-04-L-D-RA-06 has 753 pieces in stock. Availability may influence procurement decisions based on project timelines and volume requirements.
