Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TST-118-01-T-D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions and rows (36 positions, 2 rows)
• Pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Current rating (3.4A per Contact)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance (ROHS3 Compliant)

The HTST-118-01-T-D qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference lies in the insulation material composition, which does not affect functional compatibility within the specified operating parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TST-118-01-T-D and HTST-118-01-T-D are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on insulation material requirements. The TST-118-01-T-D uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with glass filling, while the HTST-118-01-T-D uses liquid crystal polymer (LCP). Both materials support the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and maintain equivalent electrical performance at the rated 3.4A per contact.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HTST-118-01-T-D be used as a direct replacement for TST-118-01-T-D?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including pitch, position count, current rating, operating temperature, and flammability compliance. The difference in insulation material does not affect functional compatibility within the specified operating conditions.

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

A: The TST-118-01-T-D uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with glass filling, while the HTST-118-01-T-D uses liquid crystal polymer (LCP). Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and support the -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range.
