Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSS-113-03-G-D is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 26 positions arranged in 2 rows
• Pitch Specifications: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Shrouding Design: Shrouded 4-wall construction
• Contact Materials & Finish: Phosphor bronze with gold mating surface
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) base composition
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Compliance Standards: RoHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The TST-113-03-G-D qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences in series designation (TST vs. TSS) and connector style (Board to Cable/Wire vs. Board to Board) do not affect functional interchangeability when mating specifications are identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSS-113-03-G-D and TST-113-03-G-D are active production parts manufactured by Samtec Inc. with identical compliance certifications (RoHS3, UL94 V-0) and matching electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements and connector style compatibility. The TSS series is designated for board-to-board applications, while the TST series is designated for board-to-cable/wire applications. Both parts maintain equivalent performance characteristics across the specified operating temperature range and contact configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TST-113-03-G-D be used as a direct replacement for TSS-113-03-G-D?

A: Yes, when the application permits board-to-cable/wire connectivity. The TST-113-03-G-D matches all critical mating specifications including pitch, position count, contact materials, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is connector style designation rather than electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: 26-position count, 2-row configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole solder termination, shrouded 4-wall design, phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish, PBT insulation, and -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature range.

Q: Does the glass-filled PBT insulation in the TST-113-03-G-D affect compatibility?

A: No. Glass-filled PBT maintains the same electrical and mechanical properties as standard PBT for this connector application. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain equivalent performance across the operating temperature range.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both TSS-113-03-G-D and TST-113-03-G-D are RoHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

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

A: The series designation reflects the intended connector style. TSS is designated for board-to-board applications, while TST is designated for board-to-cable/wire applications. Both series share identical mating specifications and contact configurations.
