TSW-104-08-F-D-NA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-104-08-F-D-NA is an 8-position rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board or cable applications. This connector features a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with male pin contacts, gold-plated mating surfaces, and tin-plated posts. The part is active in production status with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when specific design requirements necessitate alternative configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TSW-104-08-F-D-NA are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 8
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

All identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in insulation material and insulation height are within acceptable tolerances for board-to-board connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The TSW-104-08-F-D-RA and TSW-104-08-F-D-NA are identical except for mounting orientation designation and share the same series, insulation material (PBT), and MSL rating. The HTSW-104-08-F-D-RA differs in insulation material composition (LCP versus PBT) and insulation height (0.240" versus 0.219"), with MSL classified as Not Applicable. All parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and share identical electrical contact specifications, pitch, and temperature operating range. Selection between these parts depends on specific board layout requirements and insulation material compatibility with the application environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitutability for the TSW-104-08-F-D-NA?

A: The critical parameters are connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), number of positions (8), number of rows (2), mating pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), row spacing (0.100"/2.54mm), mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), termination method (Solder), contact material (Phosphor Bronze), and contact finish (Gold mating surface, Tin posts). All substitute parts maintain these specifications.

Q: What is the difference between TSW-104-08-F-D-NA and TSW-104-08-F-D-RA?

A: Both parts are from the TSW series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The designation difference reflects mounting orientation or configuration variants within the same product family. Both use PBT insulation material and have identical insulation height (0.219").

Q: How does the HTSW-104-08-F-D-RA differ from the TSW series parts?

A: The HTSW-104-08-F-D-RA uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation material instead of PBT and has a slightly larger insulation height (0.240" versus 0.219"). The MSL rating differs (Not Applicable versus 1/Unlimited). All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Are these parts interchangeable in all applications?

A: These parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable based on the core parameters of pitch, position count, contact type, and mounting configuration. Insulation material differences (PBT versus LCP) may affect performance in specific environmental conditions or high-frequency applications. Board layout and connector cavity dimensions must accommodate the insulation height variations.

Q: What is the MSL rating significance?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) indicates the component's sensitivity to moisture during storage and handling. TSW-104-08-F-D-NA and TSW-104-08-F-D-RA are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), meaning they have no moisture sensitivity restrictions. HTSW-104-08-F-D-RA is rated Not Applicable, indicating the LCP material is inherently moisture-resistant.

Q: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all three parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for electronic component applications.
