Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TST-113-05-L-D-RA qualifies as a substitute based on alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following parameters match or are compatible:

• Connector Type: Header (both parts)
• Contact Type: Male Pin (both parts)
• Number of Positions: 26 (both parts)
• Number of Rows: 2 (both parts)
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) (both parts)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) (both parts)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle (both parts)
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall (both parts)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze (both parts)
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold (both parts)
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin (both parts)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C (both parts)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (both parts)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (both parts)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (both parts)

The primary distinction between TSS-113-05-L-D-RA and TST-113-05-L-D-RA lies in the Style parameter: TSS series supports Board to Board or Cable applications, while TST series supports Board to Cable/Wire applications. This difference reflects the intended mating interface but does not affect the header connector's electrical or mechanical compatibility when used in appropriate circuit designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TSS-113-05-L-D-RA and TST-113-05-L-D-RA maintain Active product status with identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific mating interface requirements. The TSS series accommodates board-to-board or cable connections, while the TST series is designated for board-to-cable/wire connections. The TST-113-05-L-D-RA specifies a current rating of 3.4A per contact, whereas the TSS-113-05-L-D-RA does not provide this specification. The TST series insulation material includes glass-filled PBT, offering enhanced mechanical properties compared to standard PBT. Both parts share identical electrical and thermal operating parameters, supporting -55°C to 125°C operation with equivalent contact geometry and pitch specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TST-113-05-L-D-RA replace TSS-113-05-L-D-RA in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid when the application mating interface aligns with the TST series designation (board-to-cable/wire). The TSS series supports broader mating configurations (board-to-board or cable). Verify the specific mating connector type required for your application before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the Style parameters?

A: TSS-113-05-L-D-RA supports Board to Board or Cable mating, providing flexibility for multiple interface types. TST-113-05-L-D-RA is specifically designated for Board to Cable/Wire mating. Both are header connectors with identical pin configurations and electrical characteristics.

Q: Are the insulation materials functionally equivalent?

A: Both parts use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) as the base insulation material. The TST-113-05-L-D-RA specifies glass-filled PBT, which provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability. For applications requiring standard PBT properties, both materials are compatible.

Q: What is the current rating for TSS-113-05-L-D-RA?

A: The TSS-113-05-L-D-RA does not specify a current rating in the provided data. The TST-113-05-L-D-RA is rated at 3.4A per contact. Consult the manufacturer datasheet for TSS-113-05-L-D-RA current specifications if this parameter is critical to your design.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both TSS-113-05-L-D-RA and TST-113-05-L-D-RA are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing. This standard pitch is compatible with industry-standard 0.1-inch connector ecosystems.
