TSS-132-01-S-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSS-132-01-S-D is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This 64-position, 2-row connector operates across -55°C to 125°C and features gold-plated mating contacts with tin-plated posts. The part maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. 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-132-01-S-D is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• 64-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing
• Male pin contact type with square contact shape
• Phosphor bronze contact material with gold mating finish (30.0µin) and tin post finish
• Through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening
• Shrouded 4-wall design with keying slot
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance
• Moisture sensitivity level 1

Variations in insulation material (polybutylene terephthalate versus liquid crystal polymer), series designation, and application style (board-to-board versus board-to-cable) do not preclude substitution when all electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—TSS-132-01-S-D, HTSS-132-01-SM-D, and TST-132-01-S-D—maintain active product status with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The electrical and mechanical specifications are equivalent across all critical parameters including contact configuration, pitch, operating temperature range, and contact materials.

The HTSS-132-01-SM-D substitutes insulation material with liquid crystal polymer (LCP) in place of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), while maintaining identical mechanical and electrical performance. The TST-132-01-S-D uses glass-filled PBT insulation and is specified for board-to-cable/wire applications rather than board-to-board configurations, with documented current rating of 3.4A per contact.

Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements for insulation material properties and connection style. All three parts are suitable for equivalent electrical performance in 64-position, 2.54mm pitch header applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HTSS-132-01-SM-D replace TSS-132-01-S-D in a board-to-board application?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 64 positions, 2.54mm pitch, gold-plated mating contacts, and through-hole solder termination. The insulation material difference (LCP versus PBT) does not affect electrical compatibility or mechanical fit.

Q: What is the primary difference between TST-132-01-S-D and TSS-132-01-S-D?

A: The TST-132-01-S-D is specified for board-to-cable/wire applications with glass-filled PBT insulation and includes a documented current rating of 3.4A per contact. The TSS-132-01-S-D is designed for board-to-board or cable applications with standard PBT insulation. Both maintain equivalent contact geometry and electrical specifications.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. TSS-132-01-S-D, HTSS-132-01-SM-D, and TST-132-01-S-D are all ROHS3 compliant with moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited shelf life).

Q: Do these connectors support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. All three parts operate across -55°C to 125°C with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for these 64-position headers?

A: Substitution is based on matching 64-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing, male pin contacts with square shape, phosphor bronze material, gold mating finish (30.0µin), tin post finish, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, shrouded 4-wall design, and operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.
