Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TSW-106-07-SS-S are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Connector Type: Header
Contact Type: Male Pin
Number of Positions: 6
Number of Rows: 1
Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Termination: Solder
Contact Shape: Square
Contact Finish - Mating: Gold

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring continued availability and regulatory alignment. The TSW-106-07-SS-S and TSW-106-07-S-S are both TSW series components with PBT insulation material. The HTSW-106-07-S-S-005 and HTSW-106-07-SM-S are HTSW series alternatives featuring Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation, which provides enhanced thermal and mechanical properties while maintaining equivalent electrical performance and operating temperature specifications.

Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements for insulation material performance and series compatibility with existing board designs. All parts satisfy the core functional requirements for 6-position, 2.54mm pitch header applications with through-hole solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-106-07-SS-S be directly replaced with TSW-106-07-S-S?

A: Yes. Both parts are TSW series headers with identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 6 positions, 2.54mm pitch, through-hole mounting, and PBT insulation material. The parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between TSW and HTSW series substitutes?

A: The primary difference is the insulation material. TSW series uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), while HTSW series uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP). Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The series designation may affect compatibility with existing connector housings or mating components.

Q: Are HTSW-106-07-S-S-005 and HTSW-106-07-SM-S interchangeable?

A: Both HTSW parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters, including 6 positions, 2.54mm pitch, through-hole solder termination, and LCP insulation. They are functionally equivalent for standard header applications.

Q: Does insulation material affect electrical performance?

A: No. Both PBT and LCP insulation materials in these parts meet the same flammability rating (UL94 V-0) and operating temperature specifications (-55°C ~ 125°C). Material selection is based on mechanical and thermal performance requirements rather than electrical characteristics.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed parts, including the main part TSW-106-07-SS-S and all substitutes, are ROHS3 compliant, ensuring regulatory compliance for applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for substitute parts?

A: TSW-106-07-SS-S has MSL 1 (Unlimited). HTSW series parts have MSL Not Applicable, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
