TSW-105-08-F-D-LC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-105-08-F-D-LC 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, designed for board-to-board or cable interconnection applications. The connector utilizes solder termination with push-pull fastening and gold-plated mating contacts on phosphor bronze material. Finding equivalent or substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility needs while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-105-08-F-D-LC is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (10) and row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Mating contact finish (Gold)
• Insulation material (PBT)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in contact finish thickness, post contact specifications, or inventory levels do not affect substitution eligibility when core parameters remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TSW-105-08-L-D qualifies as a direct substitute for TSW-105-08-F-D-LC. Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc., share identical core electrical and mechanical specifications, maintain active product status, and comply with ROHS3 and UL94 V-0 standards. The TSW-105-08-L-D offers higher inventory availability (1834 units versus 929 units).

87227-5 manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors meets the critical substitution parameters of connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting, termination, and fastening. All three parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings. The 87227-5 operates within a reduced upper temperature limit of 105°C compared to 125°C for the Samtec parts, and features thermoplastic insulation material rather than PBT. RoHS compliance status differs between ROHS3 (Samtec parts) and standard RoHS (TE Connectivity part).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-105-08-L-D be used as a direct replacement for TSW-105-08-F-D-LC?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, mounting method, termination type, and fastening mechanism. Core electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent, supporting direct substitution in applications designed for either part.

Q: What are the differences between the Samtec TSW series parts and the TE Connectivity 87227-5?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer, insulation material (PBT versus thermoplastic), operating temperature upper limit (125°C versus 105°C), and RoHS compliance designation (ROHS3 versus standard RoHS). All parts maintain identical pitch, position count, row configuration, contact material, and mating contact finish specifications.

Q: Is the 87227-5 suitable for applications requiring -55°C to 125°C operation?

A: The 87227-5 operates within -65°C to 105°C range. Applications requiring sustained operation above 105°C require the TSW-105-08-F-D-LC or TSW-105-08-L-D.

Q: How do contact finish thickness variations affect substitution?

A: Contact finish thickness differences (3.00µin, 10.0µin, or 15.0µin on mating surfaces) do not prevent substitution when all other electrical and mechanical parameters remain aligned. Finish thickness variations are secondary specifications that do not affect connector compatibility or basic functional performance.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. TSW-105-08-F-D-LC and TSW-105-08-L-D comply with ROHS3. The 87227-5 complies with standard RoHS. All three parts meet applicable regulatory requirements for their respective designations.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 rating for these connectors?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates these connectors have unlimited shelf life and require no special moisture control during storage or handling, simplifying inventory management and logistics.
