Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-106-06-T-D-LL is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

  • Connector type (Header)
  • Contact type (Male Pin)
  • Number of positions (12) and row configuration (2 rows)
  • Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm mating pitch and row spacing)
  • Mounting method (Through Hole)
  • Termination style (Kinked Pin, Solder)
  • Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
  • Contact finish on mating surface (Tin)
  • Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
  • Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
  • RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

The HTSW-106-06-T-D-LL meets all these critical substitution criteria and is classified as an equivalent substitute part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-106-06-T-D-LL and HTSW-106-06-T-D-LL are active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. The parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent based on all critical connector parameters including pitch, position count, contact geometry, and operating temperature range.

The primary difference between these parts is the insulation material: the TSW series uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) with black insulation, while the HTSW series uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) with natural insulation. Both materials meet the specified flammability and compliance requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements for insulation material properties and visual identification needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TSW-106-06-T-D-LL and HTSW-106-06-T-D-LL mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (12 in 2 rows), contact geometry, and mounting footprint. They are mechanically interchangeable in through-hole PCB applications.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these parts?

A: The TSW-106-06-T-D-LL uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation with black color. The HTSW-106-06-T-D-LL uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation with natural color. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Do these parts have different moisture sensitivity levels?

A: The TSW-106-06-T-D-LL is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited). The HTSW-106-06-T-D-LL is rated Not Applicable. This difference does not affect substitution eligibility for standard applications.

Q: Are both parts currently in active production?

A: Yes. Both the TSW-106-06-T-D-LL and HTSW-106-06-T-D-LL maintain active product status with Samtec Inc.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, making them suitable for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in new designs?

A: Yes. The electrical and mechanical specifications are equivalent. Design selection should consider insulation material properties and color identification requirements specific to the application.
