Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-101-09-G-D-RA is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 2-position, 2-row header with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Mounting and Termination: Through-hole, right-angle orientation with solder termination
• Contact Specifications: Male pin contacts with square shape, gold-plated mating surface (10.0µin), phosphor bronze material
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, operating temperature range -55°C to 125°C
• Fastening: Push-pull fastening type

The substitute part HTSW-101-09-G-D-RA from Samtec Inc. maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters within the allowed specifications for this product category, with documented variations in insulation material and height that do not affect functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-101-09-G-D-RA and HTSW-101-09-G-D-RA are active products from Samtec Inc. with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Insulation Material Requirements: The TSW series uses PBT insulation, while the HTSW series uses LCP. LCP offers superior dimensional stability and lower moisture absorption, making it suitable for high-precision applications or environments with elevated humidity.

• Insulation Height Tolerance: The HTSW variant has a 0.240" (6.10mm) insulation height compared to the TSW's 0.219" (5.56mm). This 0.021" difference must be evaluated against PCB layout constraints and mating connector specifications.

• Inventory and Supply: The HTSW-101-09-G-D-RA currently has 1084 pieces in stock compared to 965 pieces for the TSW-101-09-G-D-RA, which may influence procurement decisions.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, contact specifications, and environmental operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HTSW-101-09-G-D-RA be used as a direct replacement for TSW-101-09-G-D-RA?

A: Yes, provided that the 0.021" (0.54mm) difference in insulation height and the change from PBT to LCP insulation material do not conflict with your PCB layout or mating connector specifications. The electrical and mechanical contact characteristics are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation material difference between PBT and LCP?

A: PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) and LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) are both thermoplastic materials with UL94 V-0 ratings. LCP provides superior dimensional stability, lower moisture absorption, and better performance in high-temperature or high-humidity environments. PBT offers established reliability in standard industrial applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both TSW-101-09-G-D-RA and HTSW-101-09-G-D-RA are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Do these connectors have different current or voltage ratings?

A: The provided specifications do not include current or voltage ratings for either part. Consult the manufacturer's detailed datasheets for electrical performance specifications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for each part?

A: The TSW-101-09-G-D-RA has MSL 1 (Unlimited). The HTSW-101-09-G-D-RA is listed as Not Applicable for MSL, indicating it does not require moisture-sensitive device handling.

Q: Are there any differences in the contact finish specifications?

A: No. Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts with 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness and gold-plated posts with 3.00µin (0.076µm) thickness.
