Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-105-26-S-D 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 method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Shrouding configuration (Unshrouded)
• Insulation material compatibility (PBT or equivalent)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The 3M 929665-09-05-I meets these core substitution criteria. Variations in contact length, contact finish specifications, and operating temperature ranges are documented in the parameter comparison table and do not preclude functional equivalence for standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-105-26-S-D and 929665-09-05-I are active production components with equivalent core electrical and mechanical interfaces. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

TSW-105-26-S-D (Samtec): Provides extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), tin-plated posts, and phosphor bronze contact material. Suitable for applications requiring wider thermal operating windows or specific post-plating requirements.

929665-09-05-I (3M): Offers gold-plated posts, copper alloy contact material, and glass-filled PBT insulation. Provides 2.5A current rating specification. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C. Suitable for applications where post-plating consistency and current rating documentation are required.

Both parts maintain ROHS3/RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status. Contact length variations (0.024" mating contact difference, 0.019" post length difference) are within typical PCB design tolerances for standard through-hole applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 929665-09-05-I directly replace the TSW-105-26-S-D in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the -40°C to 105°C temperature range. The core electrical and mechanical interfaces are equivalent: 10 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder termination, and unshrouded configuration. Minor contact length variations do not affect standard PCB mounting compatibility.

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

A: Primary differences include operating temperature range (TSW-105-26-S-D: -55°C to 125°C vs. 929665-09-05-I: -40°C to 105°C), contact post finish (tin vs. gold), contact material (phosphor bronze vs. copper alloy), and insulation material composition (PBT vs. PBT with polyester and glass fill). The 3M part specifies a 2.5A current rating.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are UL94 V-0 rated, RoHS compliant, and REACH unaffected. The Samtec part carries ROHS3 compliance, while the 3M part carries standard RoHS compliance. Both are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Which part should I select for high-temperature applications?

A: The TSW-105-26-S-D supports operation up to 125°C, making it suitable for applications exceeding the 929665-09-05-I maximum of 105°C.

Q: Are the contact lengths interchangeable?

A: Contact length differences are minor (0.024" mating, 0.019" post). For standard through-hole PCB applications with typical trace spacing and component density, these variations are compatible. Applications with tight mechanical constraints should verify specific PCB design requirements.

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

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