Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-103-25-G-D-LA is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 6 positions arranged in 2 rows
• Pitch Specifications: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole, right-angle mounting with kinked pin solder termination
• Electrical & Environmental Compliance: Operating temperature range -55°C ~ 125°C, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS3 compliance

The HTSW-103-25-G-D-LA meets all critical substitution criteria. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, row configuration, pitch specifications, mounting orientation, and termination method. Both operate within the same temperature range and meet equivalent compliance standards. Differences in insulation material (PBT versus LCP) and insulation height do not affect functional substitutability for standard board-to-board or cable applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-103-25-G-D-LA and HTSW-103-25-G-D-LA are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with full RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and supply chain requirements rather than functional differences.

The TSW-103-25-G-D-LA features PBT insulation material with an insulation height of 0.219" (5.56mm) and black coloring. The HTSW-103-25-G-D-LA uses LCP insulation material with an insulation height of 0.240" (6.10mm) and natural coloring. Both materials meet equivalent performance standards for the specified operating temperature range and environmental conditions.

Current inventory levels show 682 units of TSW-103-25-G-D-LA and 953 units of HTSW-103-25-G-D-LA available. Both parts carry MSL ratings appropriate for standard handling and storage protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HTSW-103-25-G-D-LA be used as a direct replacement for TSW-103-25-G-D-LA?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, row configuration, pitch specifications, mounting orientation, and termination method. The electrical and mechanical interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are insulation material (PBT versus LCP), insulation height (0.219" versus 0.240"), and insulation color (black versus natural). These differences do not affect functional compatibility in standard board-to-board or cable applications.

Q: Are there any temperature or compliance differences?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C and meet equivalent compliance standards including RoHS3 and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection should be based on availability, supply chain strategy, and any specific design requirements related to insulation material properties. Both parts are equally suitable for new designs meeting the specified electrical and mechanical requirements.

Q: Are there any packaging or handling differences?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. The TSW-103-25-G-D-LA carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), while the HTSW-103-25-G-D-LA carries MSL Not Applicable. Standard handling and storage protocols apply to both.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature a 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing, making them compatible with standard 2.54mm connector ecosystems.
