TSW-101-08-F-D-LL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-101-08-F-D-LL is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This 2-position vertical header features male pins with gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts, operating across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The connector is ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level. Alternative models may be required due to inventory constraints, application-specific requirements, or design optimization needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-101-08-F-D-LL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Type: Header with male pins
• Position Count: 2 positions
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting Method: Through-hole configuration
• Contact Materials & Finishes: Gold-plated mating surface, tin-plated posts, phosphor bronze base material
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Temperature Range: Operating capability within -55°C to 125°C

The substitute part PBC02SABN meets these core substitution criteria while maintaining functional and electrical compatibility for board-to-board or cable interconnection applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-101-08-F-D-LL and PBC02SABN are active-status products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The PBC02SABN offers an extended lower operating temperature limit of -65°C compared to the TSW-101-08-F-D-LL at -55°C, providing broader thermal range coverage. The PBC02SABN features a breakaway connector option and includes a specified current rating of 3A. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application thermal requirements, row configuration needs (TSW-101-08-F-D-LL has 2 rows; PBC02SABN has 1 row), and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PBC02SABN directly replace TSW-101-08-F-D-LL in existing designs?

A: Direct substitution is possible for applications requiring 2-position, 0.100" pitch through-hole headers with gold-plated mating contacts. However, the row configuration differs: TSW-101-08-F-D-LL has 2 rows while PBC02SABN has 1 row. PCB layout compatibility must be verified before implementation.

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

A: Contact length specifications are identical at 0.230" (5.84mm) for mating contacts. Overall contact length differs slightly: TSW-101-08-F-D-LL measures 0.530" (13.46mm) while PBC02SABN measures 0.560" (14.22mm). Insulation height is consistent at 0.100" (2.54mm) for both parts.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts operate to 125°C maximum. The PBC02SABN extends the lower temperature limit to -65°C, making it suitable for broader thermal range applications compared to the TSW-101-08-F-D-LL at -55°C minimum.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the TSW-101-08-F-D-LL and PBC02SABN are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040.

Q: How do the contact finish specifications compare?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts with tin-plated posts and phosphor bronze base material. The TSW-101-08-F-D-LL specifies 3.00µin (0.076µm) gold thickness on mating contacts, while PBC02SABN specifies 10.0µin (0.25µm), providing enhanced corrosion resistance in the PBC02SABN.
