TSS-132-03-G-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSS-132-03-G-D is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This shrouded 64-position header operates across the industrial temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and features gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. The part maintains active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when specific application requirements necessitate alternative connector configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TST-132-03-G-D qualifies as a substitute for the TSS-132-03-G-D based on alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share identical specifications for connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), position count (64), row configuration (2 rows), mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), mounting method (Through Hole), shrouding design (Shrouded - 4 Wall), contact finish (Gold), contact material (Phosphor Bronze), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and compliance status (RoHS3 Compliant, MSL 1).

The primary distinction between these parts lies in their connector style designation: the TSS-132-03-G-D is configured for Board to Board or Cable applications, while the TST-132-03-G-D is designated for Board to Cable/Wire applications. The TST-132-03-G-D additionally specifies a current rating of 3.4A per contact and includes glass-filled PBT insulation material, whereas the TSS-132-03-G-D does not provide these specifications in the available data.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSS-132-03-G-D and TST-132-03-G-D maintain active product status and satisfy RoHS3 compliance requirements with MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific connector style requirements. The TSS-132-03-G-D is designated for Board to Board or Cable configurations, while the TST-132-03-G-D is designated for Board to Cable/Wire configurations. The TST-132-03-G-D provides an explicit current rating specification of 3.4A per contact and incorporates glass-filled PBT insulation material. Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and share identical electrical and mechanical characteristics across all specified parameters including pitch, position count, contact materials, finish specifications, and operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TST-132-03-G-D replace TSS-132-03-G-D in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid when the application connector style requirement aligns with the TST-132-03-G-D designation (Board to Cable/Wire). The TSS-132-03-G-D is specified for Board to Board or Cable applications. Verify that your application requirements match the intended connector style before substitution.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these parts?

A: The TSS-132-03-G-D uses standard Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), while the TST-132-03-G-D uses glass-filled PBT. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the same temperature range.

Q: Are the contact specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical contact materials (Phosphor Bronze), contact finish (Gold), contact finish thickness (10.0µin mating, 3.00µin post), contact shape (Square), and all contact length dimensions.

Q: Do both parts support the same pitch and position configuration?

A: Yes. Both parts are 64-position headers with 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing.

Q: What is the current rating for the TSS-132-03-G-D?

A: The current rating for the TSS-132-03-G-D is not specified in the available technical data. The TST-132-03-G-D specifies 3.4A per contact.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TSS-132-03-G-D and TST-132-03-G-D are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level.
