Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain Active product status and comply with UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS standards, ensuring regulatory compliance across applications.

The 67996-104HLF (Amphenol ICC) operates across an extended temperature range of -65°C ~ 125°C, exceeding the TSW-102-26-F-D specification of -55°C ~ 125°C. This part is suitable for applications requiring lower temperature performance.

The 929665-09-02-I (3M) operates within -40°C ~ 105°C, which is narrower than the original specification. This part is suitable only for applications where the operating temperature range does not exceed -40°C to 105°C.

Contact post length variations exist among the three parts: TSW-102-26-F-D at 0.126" (3.20mm), 67996-104HLF at 0.095" (2.41mm), and 929665-09-02-I at 0.145" (3.68mm). PCB design and solder joint depth must accommodate these dimensional differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 67996-104HLF replace TSW-102-26-F-D in all applications?

A: The 67996-104HLF is mechanically and electrically compatible for board-to-board through-hole solder applications. The shorter contact post length (0.095" vs. 0.126") requires PCB design verification to ensure adequate solder joint formation and mechanical support.

Q: What is the primary difference between the three parts?

A: All three parts share identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (4), row configuration (2), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). Differences exist in contact post length, operating temperature range, and contact material composition.

Q: Is the 929665-09-02-I suitable for low-temperature applications?

A: The 929665-09-02-I operates from -40°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C must use TSW-102-26-F-D or 67996-104HLF.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. TSW-102-26-F-D is ROHS3 Compliant. Both 67996-104HLF and 929665-09-02-I are RoHS Compliant.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: TSW-102-26-F-D is supplied in Bulk packaging. 67996-104HLF is supplied in Bag packaging. 929665-09-02-I is supplied in Bulk packaging.
