TSW-101-07-SS-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-101-07-SS-S is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This single-position vertical header features male pins with gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts, suitable for applications requiring push-pull fastening. The part maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, specific insulation material requirements, or alternative series options while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-101-07-SS-S is determined by the following critical parameters: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), number of positions (1), number of rows (1), mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), fastening type (push-pull), contact dimensions (mating length 0.230", post length 0.100", overall length 0.430"), insulation height (0.100"), contact shape (square), contact finish specifications (gold mating, tin post), contact material (phosphor bronze), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). All identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in insulation material (polybutylene terephthalate versus liquid crystal polymer) and series designation (TSW versus HTSW) do not affect functional compatibility within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts maintain active product status with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The TSW-101-07-SS-S and TSW-101-07-S-S share identical insulation material (PBT) and moisture sensitivity specifications, making them direct functional equivalents. The TSW-101-07-SM-S variant uses the same TSW series and PBT insulation but differs in moisture sensitivity documentation. The HTSW-101-07-SM-S represents an alternative series option with liquid crystal polymer insulation and not-applicable moisture sensitivity rating, suitable for applications where LCP material properties are acceptable. Selection between these parts should be based on material specification requirements, series preference, and inventory availability, as all maintain the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-101-07-SS-S be directly replaced with HTSW-101-07-SM-S?

A: Yes, within the scope of the provided electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is the insulation material: TSW-101-07-SS-S uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), while HTSW-101-07-SM-S uses liquid crystal polymer (LCP). Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain identical contact dimensions, contact finishes, and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the significance of the moisture sensitivity level difference?

A: TSW-101-07-SS-S and TSW-101-07-S-S are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling. HTSW-101-07-SM-S is rated not applicable, reflecting its LCP insulation material. This difference does not affect functional compatibility but may influence storage and handling procedures based on organizational MSL protocols.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for the same PCB footprint?

A: All parts share identical contact dimensions (0.230" mating length, 0.100" post length, 0.430" overall length) and insulation height (0.100"), ensuring compatibility with the same PCB footprint and through-hole spacing.

Q: What distinguishes the TSW series from the HTSW series?

A: Both series are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this single-position header configuration. The series designation reflects product line organization; functional compatibility is determined by the specified parameters.

Q: Can inventory levels influence part selection?

A: Inventory availability may be a practical consideration for procurement. TSW-101-07-S-S currently has the highest inventory (1391 Pcs), followed by TSW-101-07-SM-S (763 Pcs), HTSW-101-07-SM-S (755 Pcs), and TSW-101-07-SS-S (865 Pcs). All parts maintain active status and are available in bulk packaging.
