Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TST-105-01-S-D-10 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 10
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Insulation Material: Glass Filled polymer
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part N2510-6002-RB from 3M meets all primary substitution criteria and maintains compatibility across secondary parameters, qualifying it as a direct equivalent for the TST-105-01-S-D-10.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TST-105-01-S-D-10 and N2510-6002-RB are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

TST-105-01-S-D-10 (Samtec): Suitable for applications requiring the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and higher current capacity of 3.4A per contact. This part supports higher thermal and electrical demands in demanding environments.

N2510-6002-RB (3M): Suitable for applications operating within the -55°C to 105°C temperature range with current requirements up to 1.75A per contact. This part is available in higher inventory quantities (65,098 pieces) and is packaged in trays for automated assembly processes.

Both parts maintain identical mechanical and mating characteristics, including pitch, shrouding, fastening type, and contact geometry, ensuring functional interchangeability within their respective electrical and thermal specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can N2510-6002-RB be used as a direct replacement for TST-105-01-S-D-10?

A: N2510-6002-RB is mechanically and functionally compatible with TST-105-01-S-D-10 for applications operating within -55°C to 105°C and requiring current up to 1.75A per contact. Applications requiring operation above 105°C or currents exceeding 1.75A per contact must use the TST-105-01-S-D-10.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are operating temperature range (TST-105-01-S-D-10: -55°C to 125°C vs. N2510-6002-RB: -55°C to 105°C), current rating per contact (3.4A vs. 1.75A), insulation material composition (PBT vs. PCT/Polyester), and packaging format (bulk vs. tray).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both TST-105-01-S-D-10 and N2510-6002-RB are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the pitch spacing for these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing, making them mechanically interchangeable in terms of board layout and mating interface geometry.

Q: Does packaging format affect compatibility?

A: Packaging format (bulk vs. tray) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The choice between bulk and tray packaging is determined by assembly process requirements and inventory management preferences.

Q: Are the contact finishes identical?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness and tin-plated posts, ensuring equivalent contact performance and reliability.
