Engineering Selection Recommendations
All substitute parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements equivalent to the TSW-105-08-SS-D.
TSW-105-08-S-D offers the highest inventory availability (2037 pcs) with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Packaging differs (Bag vs. Bulk), which does not affect component performance.
HTSW-105-08-SM-D and HTSW-105-08-SM-D-LC employ Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation instead of PBT, with natural insulation color. HTSW-105-08-SM-D-LC includes a Board Lock feature. Both HTSW variants have Moisture Sensitivity Level listed as Not Applicable, indicating different material handling requirements compared to PBT-based parts.
TSW-105-08-S-D-LC maintains PBT insulation with Board Lock feature, combining the insulation material of the original part with enhanced mechanical retention.
Selection should prioritize inventory availability and packaging requirements for the application, as all parts maintain identical electrical performance and thermal ratings.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can TSW-105-08-S-D replace TSW-105-08-SS-D directly?
A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference is packaging type (Bag vs. Bulk). TSW-105-08-S-D has higher inventory availability.
Q: What is the difference between PBT and LCP insulation materials in the HTSW variants?
A: Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). LCP-based parts (HTSW series) have Moisture Sensitivity Level listed as Not Applicable, while PBT-based parts (TSW series) are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited). Material selection depends on application environmental conditions and handling protocols.
Q: Does the Board Lock feature in HTSW-105-08-SM-D-LC and TSW-105-08-S-D-LC affect compatibility?
A: Board Lock is an additional mechanical feature that enhances retention during mating. It does not affect electrical compatibility or pin configuration. Parts with and without Board Lock are mechanically and electrically interchangeable in standard applications.
Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?
A: Yes. All listed parts, including the main part TSW-105-08-SS-D, are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.
Q: What is the significance of insulation color differences?
A: Insulation color (Black vs. Natural) is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Selection may depend on assembly documentation or visual identification requirements.
Q: Can I use HTSW series parts as direct replacements for TSW series parts?
A: Yes. Both series maintain identical pin configuration, pitch, contact specifications, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is insulation material (LCP vs. PBT) and moisture sensitivity classification. Verify application environmental requirements before selection.
