Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TSW-102-16-L-S-NA, TSW-102-16-L-S-RA, and TSW-102-16-L-S-RE directly interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including pitch, contact configuration, material composition, operating temperature range, and termination method. They are functionally equivalent for board-to-board and cable interconnect applications.

Q: What determines substitutability within the TSW series?

A: Substitutability is determined by equivalence in the following parameters: number of positions, number of rows, mating pitch, connector type, contact type, mounting method, termination type, contact material, contact finish specifications, insulation material, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications. All three parts meet these criteria.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings, and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels. They are suitable for equivalent regulatory environments.

Q: Are there differences in contact dimensions among these parts?

A: No. Contact length for mating, contact length for post, and insulation height are identical across all three parts: 0.320" (8.13mm) mating length, 0.200" (5.08mm) post length, and 0.119" (3.02mm) insulation height.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: All three parts operate at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, a standard spacing for rectangular connector headers in this category.
