TSS-107-05-L-D-RA-06 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSS-107-05-L-D-RA-06 is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board or cable applications. This 14-position connector operates across -55°C to 125°C and features shrouded 4-wall construction with gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with application requirements, enabling component interchangeability for procurement flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSS-107-05-L-D-RA-06 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
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The TST-107-05-L-D-RA-08 meets all these criteria and is therefore classified as an equivalent substitute part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TST-107-05-L-D-RA-08 is an equivalent substitute for the TSS-107-05-L-D-RA-06 based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts are Active status products manufactured by Samtec Inc., ROHS3 compliant, and rated for identical operating temperature ranges with UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

The primary difference is series designation (TST versus TSS) and application style classification (Board to Cable/Wire versus Board to Board or Cable). The TST-107-05-L-D-RA-08 specifies a current rating of 3.4A per contact, whereas the TSS-107-05-L-D-RA-06 does not provide this specification. The TST variant uses glass-filled PBT insulation material compared to standard PBT in the TSS variant, which enhances mechanical and thermal properties.

Both parts feature identical contact geometry, pitch spacing, shrouding configuration, and termination method. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements regarding current handling capacity and insulation material properties.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TST-107-05-L-D-RA-08 be used as a direct replacement for TSS-107-05-L-D-RA-06?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), mounting method (through-hole right-angle), shrouding (4-wall), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Electrical and mechanical compatibility is established through parameter alignment.

Q: What is the difference between the TSS and TST series?

A: The TSS-107 and TST-107 are distinct series within Samtec's Flex Stack connector family. The TST-107-05-L-D-RA-08 is designated for board-to-cable/wire applications and includes a specified current rating of 3.4A per contact. The TSS-107-05-L-D-RA-06 is designated for board-to-board or cable applications without a specified current rating.

Q: Does the glass-filled PBT insulation in TST-107-05-L-D-RA-08 affect compatibility?

A: No. Glass-filled PBT is a compatible material variant that provides enhanced mechanical and thermal properties compared to standard PBT. Both materials maintain the same UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operating temperature specification.

Q: Are the contact specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature square phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating (10.0µin / 0.25µm) on mating surfaces and tin plating on posts. Contact length for mating (0.250" / 6.35mm) and post (0.230" / 5.84mm) dimensions are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating specification in TST-107-05-L-D-RA-08?

A: The TST-107-05-L-D-RA-08 specifies 3.4A per contact current capacity. This specification is provided for the substitute part but not for the main part. Applications requiring defined current handling should reference the TST variant specification.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TSS-107-05-L-D-RA-06 and TST-107-05-L-D-RA-08 are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).
