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

Part Overview

The TSW-105-08-F-D-LL is an active rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc. This through-hole connector features 10 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for board-to-board or cable applications. The connector utilizes kinked pin solder termination with push-pull fastening and gold-plated mating contacts. Finding equivalent or substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or specific application needs while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TSW-105-08-F-D-LL with the PBC05DABN is based on alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Both parts are 10-position, 2-row headers with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Contact System: Both utilize male pin contacts with phosphor bronze material and gold-plated mating surfaces
• Mounting and Termination: Both are through-hole mounted with solder termination and push-pull fastening
• Insulation: Both use PBT insulation material with black color and UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification

The PBC05DABN is classified as a breakaway header variant, offering the same electrical and mechanical interface while providing additional design flexibility for applications requiring modular connector separation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-105-08-F-D-LL and PBC05DABN are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, making them suitable for equivalent selection in applications requiring regulatory compliance.

The TSW-105-08-F-D-LL features kinked pin termination with a lower mating contact finish thickness (3.00µin), while the PBC05DABN provides standard solder termination with increased mating contact finish thickness (10.0µin) and an extended operating temperature range to -65°C. The PBC05DABN's breakaway header design offers additional mechanical flexibility for applications requiring connector separation.

Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements regarding contact post length, operating temperature extremes, and connector modularity needs. Both parts maintain identical pitch, row spacing, contact configuration, and insulation specifications, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility within their respective design parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PBC05DABN directly replace the TSW-105-08-F-D-LL in existing PCB designs?

A: The PBC05DABN is mechanically and electrically compatible with the TSW-105-08-F-D-LL for applications where the contact post length difference (0.230" versus 0.200") and overall contact length difference (0.560" versus 0.530") do not create clearance or mating depth conflicts. PCB layout verification is required to confirm compatibility with existing receptacle designs.

Q: What is the significance of the breakaway header designation for the PBC05DABN?

A: The breakaway header feature allows individual connector positions to be separated from the main header assembly, providing design flexibility for applications requiring modular connector configurations. This does not affect the standard mating interface when used as a complete 10-position header.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish durability between these parts?

A: The PBC05DABN provides a thicker gold mating contact finish (10.0µin) compared to the TSW-105-08-F-D-LL (3.00µin), which may offer enhanced durability in high-cycle mating applications. Both parts utilize tin-plated posts for solder termination.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between these connectors?

A: The PBC05DABN operates from -65°C to 125°C, providing a 10°C lower temperature limit compared to the TSW-105-08-F-D-LL (-55°C to 125°C). Applications requiring operation below -55°C should specify the PBC05DABN.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Both the TSW-105-08-F-D-LL and PBC05DABN are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and are suitable for applications requiring these certifications.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these connectors?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. The TSW-105-08-F-D-LL has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), while the PBC05DABN is classified as Not Applicable for MSL, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for either part.
