Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-102-17-L-S is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 2
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) or equivalent dielectric
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The Molex part number 0022284024 qualifies as a substitute based on conformance to these parameters. Variations in contact length, insulation height, and contact finish thickness do not preclude substitution when mechanical and electrical interface requirements are satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-102-17-L-S and 0022284024 are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Mechanical fit requirements: The TSW-102-17-L-S features longer contact mating length (0.620" vs. 0.320") and greater overall contact length (0.830" vs. 0.530"), which may affect board-to-board spacing and mating depth.
• Insulation material compatibility: The TSW-102-17-L-S uses PBT, while the 0022284024 uses glass-filled polyamide. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 requirements.
• Contact finish thickness: The 0022284024 provides thicker gold plating on mating contacts (15.0µin vs. 10.0µin), which may offer enhanced wear resistance in high-cycle mating applications.
• Inventory availability: The 0022284024 has higher stock availability (3306 pcs vs. 764 pcs).

Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 2-position, 0.100" pitch through-hole header connectors with push-pull fastening and solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0022284024 be used as a direct replacement for the Samtec TSW-102-17-L-S?

A: The 0022284024 qualifies as a substitute based on matching connector type, contact type, pitch, position count, mounting method, termination, and fastening type. However, differences in contact length and insulation height must be evaluated against specific board layout and mating depth requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are contact length (TSW-102-17-L-S: 0.620" mating length vs. 0022284024: 0.320"), overall contact length (0.830" vs. 0.530"), insulation height (0.100" vs. 0.090"), insulation material (PBT vs. glass-filled polyamide), and gold plating thickness on mating contacts (10.0µin vs. 15.0µin).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the TSW-102-17-L-S and 0022284024 are ROHS3 compliant.
