Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-105-26-G-D is determined by strict alignment with 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 method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Shrouding configuration (Unshrouded)
• Contact finish (Gold plating on mating surface)
• Insulation material (PBT-based)

The 3M 929665-09-05-I meets these core substitution criteria. Variations in contact length, post dimensions, operating temperature range, and contact material composition do not preclude functional equivalence in applications where the TSW-105-26-G-D is specified, provided the mechanical envelope and electrical interface remain compatible.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-105-26-G-D and 929665-09-05-I are active production components with current inventory availability. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements:

The TSW-105-26-G-D supports an extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for applications requiring operation at lower temperatures or in thermally demanding environments. The 929665-09-05-I operates within -40°C to 105°C and includes a specified current rating of 2.5A per contact.

Both components are RoHS compliant and feature identical mating pitch, row spacing, and contact finish specifications. The 929665-09-05-I exhibits slightly longer contact dimensions (0.235" mating length versus 0.230", and 0.145" post length versus 0.126"), which may affect mechanical fit in space-constrained applications or when mating with specific receptacle designs.

The TSW-105-26-G-D uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the 929665-09-05-I employs copper alloy contacts. Both materials provide adequate electrical conductivity and mechanical durability for standard through-hole applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 929665-09-05-I be used as a direct replacement for the TSW-105-26-G-D?

A: The 929665-09-05-I is functionally equivalent for applications where the operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C is acceptable and the slightly longer contact dimensions do not create mechanical interference. Verify mating receptacle compatibility before substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are operating temperature range (TSW-105-26-G-D: -55°C to 125°C versus 929665-09-05-I: -40°C to 105°C), contact length dimensions, contact material composition (phosphor bronze versus copper alloy), and post finish thickness. Both maintain identical pitch, row spacing, and mating contact finish specifications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TSW-105-26-G-D is ROHS3 compliant, and the 929665-09-05-I is RoHS compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for lead-free manufacturing.

Q: Does the 929665-09-05-I have a specified current rating?

A: Yes, the 929665-09-05-I is rated for 2.5A per contact. The TSW-105-26-G-D does not include a specified current rating in the provided documentation.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: The TSW-105-26-G-D has an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The 929665-09-05-I is listed as Not Applicable for MSL.

Q: How do the contact dimensions affect compatibility?

A: The 929665-09-05-I has slightly longer overall contact length (0.480" versus 0.456") and longer post length (0.145" versus 0.126"). These dimensional differences may affect fit with specific receptacle designs or in applications with tight mechanical tolerances. Verify receptacle compatibility before substitution.
