• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 2
• Number of Rows: 1
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Only components matching all specified parameters across electrical, mechanical, and environmental criteria qualify as direct substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TSW-102-06-S-S maintains Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, ensuring regulatory compliance for current and future applications. The component's UL94 V-0 flammability rating and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) support deployment in standard industrial and commercial environments without additional handling requirements. Selection of equivalent parts should prioritize components with identical Active status and matching compliance certifications to ensure long-term supply chain stability and regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What parameters must match exactly for a part to be considered a direct substitute for the TSW-102-06-S-S?

A: Direct substitutes must match all critical parameters: 2-position, 1-row header configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole solder termination, phosphor bronze contacts with gold mating finish and tin post finish, PBT insulation, -55°C to 125°C operating range, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish specifications between the main part and substitute options?

A: Contact finish specifications remain identical across all qualified substitutes: gold-plated mating contacts at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness and tin-plated posts ensure consistent electrical performance and reliability.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level?

A: MSL 1 designation indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture bake-out requirements, allowing standard storage and handling procedures without special environmental controls.

Q: Can the TSW-102-06-S-S be used in applications requiring temperatures outside the -55°C to 125°C range?

A: No. The operating temperature specification defines the validated performance envelope. Applications requiring extended temperature ranges require evaluation of alternative component series with appropriate thermal ratings.

Q: What does ROHS3 compliance indicate for this connector?

A: ROHS3 compliance confirms the component meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive requirements, restricting lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and specified brominated flame retardants in accordance with current European Union regulations.
