TST-130-01-L-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TST-130-01-L-D is an active rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. in the Flex Stack series. This through-hole mounted connector features 60 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for board-to-cable/wire applications. The connector employs shrouded 4-wall construction with push-pull fastening and solder termination. Equivalent parts are identified when design requirements necessitate alternative sourcing due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or specific application compatibility needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TST-130-01-L-D is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count (60 positions)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Keying slot presence
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 1-5103308-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) satisfies all mandatory substitution criteria. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications for mating compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TST-130-01-L-D and 1-5103308-2 are active products with identical mechanical interface specifications and equivalent compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, UL94 V-0). Selection between these parts should be based on the following provided specifications:

Current rating requirements determine primary suitability. The TST-130-01-L-D supports 3.4A per contact, while the 1-5103308-2 supports 1A per contact. Applications requiring current levels exceeding 1A per contact necessitate the TST-130-01-L-D.

Operating temperature range differs between the two connectors. The TST-130-01-L-D operates from -55°C to 125°C, while the 1-5103308-2 operates from -65°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation above 105°C or below -55°C require the TST-130-01-L-D.

Contact material composition differs: TST-130-01-L-D uses Phosphor Bronze contacts, while 1-5103308-2 uses Brass contacts. Contact finish specifications also vary in thickness and composition.

Both connectors maintain identical mating pitch, row spacing, position count, shrouding configuration, and fastening mechanism, ensuring mechanical and electrical interface compatibility for standard applications within the specified operating parameters of the selected part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-5103308-2 directly replace the TST-130-01-L-D in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when application requirements fall within the 1-5103308-2 specifications. The substitute part supports a maximum of 1A per contact and operates within -65°C to 105°C. Applications requiring higher current ratings or extended temperature ranges above 105°C require the TST-130-01-L-D.

Q: Are the mating interfaces identical between these two connectors?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (60), row configuration (2 rows), shrouding (4-wall), and keying slot design. Mating compatibility is assured.

Q: What are the differences in contact specifications?

A: The TST-130-01-L-D features Phosphor Bronze contacts with 0.250" (6.35mm) mating length and 0.115" (2.92mm) post length. The 1-5103308-2 features Brass contacts with 0.240" (6.10mm) mating length and 0.120" (3.05mm) post length. Contact finish thickness also differs: TST-130-01-L-D specifies 10.0µin (0.25µm) mating finish, while 1-5103308-2 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm).

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the TST-130-01-L-D and 1-5103308-2 are ROHS3 Compliant with UL94 V-0 material flammability rating. Both carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level and EAR99 export classification.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The TST-130-01-L-D is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the 1-5103308-2 is supplied in Tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality or interface compatibility.

Q: Are there insulation material differences?

A: The TST-130-01-L-D specifies Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled insulation material. The 1-5103308-2 insulation material is not specified in the provided data.
