Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TSW-102-08-F-S-NA are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the TSW series. The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

• 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, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Parts matching all these parameters are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in contact finish specifications, post length, or mating contact length do not affect functional interchangeability for standard board-to-board applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TSW-102-08-F-S-NA and TSW-102-08-F-S-RA are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability certification, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. The TSW-102-08-F-S-RA variant currently maintains higher inventory levels (2441 pcs) compared to TSW-102-08-F-S-NA (834 pcs), making it suitable for applications requiring extended lead time assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TSW-102-08-F-S-NA and TSW-102-08-F-S-RA electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including contact material (Phosphor Bronze), contact finish (Gold mating, Tin post), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and voltage/current ratings. They are direct electrical substitutes.

Q: What are the mechanical differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are mechanically identical in terms of pitch (2.54mm), number of positions (2), contact length, insulation height, and mounting type (through-hole, right-angle). No mechanical redesign is required when substituting between these parts.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both TSW-102-08-F-S-NA and TSW-102-08-F-S-RA are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and have MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level. They meet identical regulatory and environmental standards.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation within this range are suitable for either part.

Q: What is the significance of the part number suffix differences?

A: The suffix variations (NA vs. RA) indicate different packaging or configuration options within the TSW-102-08-F-S series. Both variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical performance for standard board-to-board connector applications.
