TSW-105-05-G-S-LL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-105-05-G-S-LL is an active rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. This through-hole vertical header features 5 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is designed for board-to-board or cable applications. The connector utilizes kinked pin solder termination with push-pull fastening and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts. Finding equivalent or substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory availability, lead time requirements, or specific application constraints while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-105-05-G-S-LL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Pitch: 5 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole mounting with kinked pin solder termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening type
• Contact Materials & Finish: Phosphor bronze with gold plating on mating surfaces
• Electrical & Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range -55°C ~ 125°C, UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant

The identified substitute part HTSW-105-05-G-S-LL maintains equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in insulation material (LCP vs. PBT) and moisture sensitivity classification do not affect functional substitutability for this connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-105-05-G-S-LL and HTSW-105-05-G-S-LL are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory Availability: TSW-105-05-G-S-LL has 729 units in stock; HTSW-105-05-G-S-LL has 932 units in stock
• Insulation Material: TSW series uses PBT; HTSW series uses LCP. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for the specified operating temperature range
• Compliance Status: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 export classification

Either part is functionally equivalent for applications requiring a 5-position, 0.100" pitch through-hole header with push-pull fastening and gold-plated contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HTSW-105-05-G-S-LL be used as a direct replacement for TSW-105-05-G-S-LL?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including contact configuration, pitch, termination method, fastening type, and operating temperature range. The difference in insulation material (LCP vs. PBT) does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation material difference between TSW and HTSW series?

A: The TSW series uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) while the HTSW series uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP). Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards and operate across the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Material selection may depend on specific environmental or mechanical requirements of the application.

Q: Are there any differences in contact dimensions or mating characteristics?

A: No. Both parts have identical contact lengths, overall contact length, insulation height, and contact shape specifications. Mating pitch and contact finish specifications are also identical.

Q: Do both parts have the same RoHS compliance status?

A: Yes. Both TSW-105-05-G-S-LL and HTSW-105-05-G-S-LL are ROHS3 compliant with identical export classification (EAR99).

Q: What determines whether a connector can substitute for the TSW-105-05-G-S-LL?

A: Substitution requires equivalence in connector type (header), contact type (male pin), position count (5), mating pitch (0.100"), mounting method (through-hole), termination style (kinked pin solder), fastening type (push-pull), contact materials and finish specifications, and operating temperature range.
