TSW-103-09-F-D-NA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-103-09-F-D-NA is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board or cable applications. This 6-position connector operates across -55°C to 125°C and meets UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The part is currently active in production with 1145 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where form factor and performance requirements remain constant.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TSW-103-09-F-D-NA are identified based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions and rows (6 positions, 2 rows)
• Pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

The HTSW-103-09-F-D-RA meets all these criteria and is classified as an equivalent substitute. Variations in insulation material (PBT vs. LCP), insulation height (0.219" vs. 0.240"), insulation color, and moisture sensitivity level do not affect functional interchangeability in applications where these parameters are not design-critical constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-103-09-F-D-NA and HTSW-103-09-F-D-RA are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability requirements: TSW-103-09-F-D-NA has higher inventory (1145 units) compared to HTSW-103-09-F-D-RA (755 units)
• Insulation material specification: TSW-103-09-F-D-NA uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT); HTSW-103-09-F-D-RA uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Insulation height tolerance: TSW-103-09-F-D-NA specifies 0.219" (5.56mm); HTSW-103-09-F-D-RA specifies 0.240" (6.10mm)
• Moisture sensitivity: TSW-103-09-F-D-NA is MSL 1 (Unlimited); HTSW-103-09-F-D-RA is Not Applicable

Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical interface requirements for 6-position, 2.54mm pitch through-hole right-angle header applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HTSW-103-09-F-D-RA be used as a direct replacement for TSW-103-09-F-D-NA?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (6 positions, 2 rows), contact geometry, mounting configuration (through-hole right angle), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The connectors are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for board-to-board and cable applications.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are insulation material (PBT vs. LCP), insulation height (0.219" vs. 0.240"), insulation color (Black vs. Natural), and moisture sensitivity level classification. These differences do not affect connector function or mating compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TSW-103-09-F-D-NA and HTSW-103-09-F-D-RA are ROHS3 compliant and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Q: Which part should I select if both are available?

A: Selection depends on design-specific requirements. If insulation material specification is not constrained, either part is suitable. Consider inventory availability and lead time requirements when making procurement decisions.

Q: Do these connectors require any special handling or storage?

A: TSW-103-09-F-D-NA is classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level), indicating no special moisture control storage is required. HTSW-103-09-F-D-RA is classified as Not Applicable for MSL, also indicating standard storage conditions are acceptable.
