TSS-115-01-T-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSS-115-01-T-D is an active rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 30-position, 2-row connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch serves board-to-board or cable interconnection requirements. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number is unavailable or when specific application requirements necessitate alternative insulation materials or connector series configurations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSS-115-01-T-D is determined by the following critical parameters:

Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
Position count and row configuration (30 positions, 2 rows)
Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Mounting method (Through Hole)
Termination type (Solder)
Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)
RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

The identified substitute parts TST-115-01-T-D and HTST-115-01-T-D meet all critical substitution criteria. Variations in insulation material (PBT, PBT Glass Filled, or LCP) and connector series designation do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three connector models—TSS-115-01-T-D, TST-115-01-T-D, and HTST-115-01-T-D—maintain active product status with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements regarding insulation material properties and connector series availability.

The TSS-115-01-T-D features standard PBT insulation material. The TST-115-01-T-D provides glass-filled PBT insulation, offering enhanced mechanical rigidity. The HTST-115-01-T-D utilizes LCP insulation, delivering superior thermal and chemical resistance characteristics. All three variants support identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications, ensuring direct substitution capability within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TST-115-01-T-D or HTST-115-01-T-D be used as direct replacements for TSS-115-01-T-D?

A: Yes. All three connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (30), row configuration (2 rows), contact geometry, mounting method (through-hole solder), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C). Functional interchangeability is confirmed across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Q: What are the differences between the substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are insulation material composition and connector series designation. TSS-115-01-T-D uses PBT insulation; TST-115-01-T-D uses glass-filled PBT; HTST-115-01-T-D uses LCP. These material variations do not affect mating interface compatibility or electrical performance within the specified operating envelope.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. TSS-115-01-T-D, TST-115-01-T-D, and HTST-115-01-T-D are all ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: TSS-115-01-T-D does not specify a current rating in the provided data. TST-115-01-T-D and HTST-115-01-T-D are rated at 3.4A per contact.

Q: Can these connectors be used for board-to-cable applications?

A: TSS-115-01-T-D is designated for board-to-board or cable applications. TST-115-01-T-D and HTST-115-01-T-D are designated for board-to-cable/wire applications. All three support solder termination on through-hole PCB mounting.
