TSW-105-06-F-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-105-06-F-D is an active rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. This through-hole vertical header features 10 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. The connector utilizes male pin contacts with gold-plated mating surfaces and tin-plated posts, designed for board-to-board or cable applications with push-pull fastening. The part is ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operates across -55°C to 125°C. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when specific material or performance characteristics are required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-105-06-F-D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), number of positions (10), number of rows (2), mating pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), row spacing (0.100"/2.54mm), mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), contact material (phosphor bronze), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The substitute part HTSW-105-06-F-D meets all these criteria. Variations in insulation material (polybutylene terephthalate versus liquid crystal polymer) and insulation color do not affect functional compatibility in applications where the connector's core electrical and mechanical characteristics are the determining factors.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-105-06-F-D and HTSW-105-06-F-D are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical connector parameters. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The primary distinction is the insulation material: TSW-105-06-F-D uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with black insulation, while HTSW-105-06-F-D uses liquid crystal polymer (LCP) with natural insulation. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements for insulation material properties and availability. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications where the connector's core specifications are the determining factors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HTSW-105-06-F-D replace TSW-105-06-F-D in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, mounting method, and operating temperature range. The difference in insulation material (PBT versus LCP) does not affect functional compatibility in standard board-to-board or cable applications.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation material difference?

A: TSW-105-06-F-D uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation, while HTSW-105-06-F-D uses liquid crystal polymer (LCP) insulation. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the same temperature range. Material selection depends on specific application requirements for mechanical properties, chemical resistance, or dimensional stability.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory availability may vary; TSW-105-06-F-D has 972 pieces in stock, while HTSW-105-06-F-D has 1004 pieces in stock.

Q: Do these parts require any special handling or storage considerations?

A: TSW-105-06-F-D has Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity. HTSW-105-06-F-D is listed as Not Applicable for MSL, indicating no moisture sensitivity requirement. Both parts can be stored under standard conditions.

Q: What are the contact specifications for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature phosphor bronze contacts with gold-plated mating surfaces (3.00µin thickness) and tin-plated posts. Contact length for mating is 0.105" (2.67mm), post length is 0.095" (2.41mm), and overall contact length is 0.300" (7.62mm).
