Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-105-17-S-D is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 10
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Length - Mating: 0.620" (15.75mm)
• Contact Length - Post: 0.110" (2.79mm)
• Overall Contact Length: 0.830" (21.08mm)
• Insulation Height: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact Shape: Square
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

The HTSW-105-17-S-D meets all critical substitution criteria. Variations in insulation material composition and color, as well as moisture sensitivity classification, do not affect functional interchangeability in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-105-17-S-D and HTSW-105-17-S-D are active production parts manufactured by Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications for mating interfaces. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, meeting equivalent regulatory requirements.

The primary differences are material composition of the insulation housing and moisture sensitivity classification. The TSW-105-17-S-D uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation with MSL 1 rating, while the HTSW-105-17-S-D uses liquid crystal polymer (LCP) insulation with not applicable MSL classification. Both materials meet the same flammability and operating temperature specifications.

Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements regarding insulation material properties and environmental storage conditions. Both parts are functionally interchangeable for standard through-hole header applications with identical contact geometry, pitch, and termination characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the TSW-105-17-S-D and HTSW-105-17-S-D mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical pitch spacing (0.100"), position count (10), row configuration (2 rows), contact geometry (square), and overall dimensions. They mount identically in through-hole applications.

Q: What is the difference between PBT and LCP insulation materials in these headers?

A: The TSW-105-17-S-D uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation, while the HTSW-105-17-S-D uses liquid crystal polymer (LCP) insulation. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Material selection depends on specific application environmental and mechanical requirements.

Q: Does the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) difference affect substitution?

A: The TSW-105-17-S-D carries MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, while the HTSW-105-17-S-D is not applicable for MSL. This difference reflects the insulation material properties but does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection should consider storage and handling requirements specific to your manufacturing environment.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TSW-105-17-S-D and HTSW-105-17-S-D are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: Can these headers be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. The identical contact pitch (0.100"), position count (10), row spacing (0.100"), and through-hole mounting specifications ensure direct substitution in PCB layouts without design modification.
