TSW-102-15-S-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-102-15-S-S is an active rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 2-position vertical header operates across the industrial temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and features gold-plated mating contacts with tin-plated posts. The connector utilizes a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch standard for board-to-board or cable interconnection. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative options when the primary part is unavailable or when specific contact length requirements differ.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TSW-102-15-S-S has one identified substitute: TSW-102-14-S-S. Both parts share the same base product number (TSW-102) and are members of the TSW series from Samtec Inc. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters that remain constant across both parts:

• 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
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation Color: Black
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

The primary difference between these parts is the contact length specification. The TSW-102-15-S-S features a longer mating contact length of 0.520" (13.21mm) compared to the TSW-102-14-S-S at 0.320" (8.13mm). This dimensional variation affects the overall contact length and insertion depth characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-102-15-S-S and TSW-102-14-S-S are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Selection between these parts depends on the specific contact length requirement for your application. The TSW-102-15-S-S provides a longer mating contact length of 0.520" (13.21mm), resulting in an overall contact length of 0.730" (18.54mm). The TSW-102-14-S-S offers a shorter mating contact length of 0.320" (8.13mm) with an overall contact length of 0.530" (13.46mm). Both parts maintain identical electrical and thermal characteristics across the -55°C to 125°C operating range and share the same contact material, finish specifications, and mounting methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between TSW-102-15-S-S and TSW-102-14-S-S?

A: The primary difference is the contact length specification. The TSW-102-15-S-S features a mating contact length of 0.520" (13.21mm), while the TSW-102-14-S-S has a mating contact length of 0.320" (8.13mm). This affects the overall contact length and insertion depth into mating receptacles.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in all applications?

A: Interchangeability depends on the mating receptacle depth and insertion requirements of your specific application. The different contact lengths mean these parts are designed for different mating depths. Verify that your mating receptacle accommodates the contact length of the selected part.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both TSW-102-15-S-S and TSW-102-14-S-S are ROHS3 compliant and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements.

Q: Do these parts share the same pitch and contact configuration?

A: Yes, both parts feature a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 2-position single-row configuration with male pin contacts, gold-plated mating surfaces, and tin-plated posts.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate across the industrial temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.
