TSW-106-23-S-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-106-23-S-D is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 12-position, 2-row connector operates across a wide temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and features gold-plated mating contacts with tin-plated posts. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant, making it suitable for modern electronic assemblies requiring board-to-board or cable interconnection. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when inventory constraints require component flexibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-106-23-S-D is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 12
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Shrouding: Unshrouded

The substitute part 929665-01-06-I, manufactured by 3M, satisfies all critical substitution parameters. Both parts are Active products with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity levels. Compatibility is established through matching mechanical and electrical interface specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-106-23-S-D and 929665-01-06-I maintain Active product status and satisfy core compliance requirements including UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification. The parts are mechanically and electrically compatible for board-to-board applications requiring 12-position, 2-row through-hole headers with 2.54mm pitch.

Selection between these parts should account for the following provided specifications: the TSW-106-23-S-D operates across -55°C to 125°C, while the 929665-01-06-I operates across -40°C to 105°C. The TSW-106-23-S-D features phosphor bronze contacts with tin-plated posts, while the 929665-01-06-I features copper alloy contacts with gold-plated posts. The 929665-01-06-I specifies a 2.5A current rating. Contact length variations between the parts are minor (mating contact: 0.230" versus 0.235"; post contact: 0.115" versus 0.110"), with overall contact length remaining identical at 0.445".

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TSW-106-23-S-D and 929665-01-06-I mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), number of positions (12), number of rows (2), overall contact length (0.445" / 11.30mm), and insulation height (0.100" / 2.54mm). Minor variations in individual contact lengths do not affect mechanical fit.

Q: What are the temperature operating range differences?

A: The TSW-106-23-S-D operates from -55°C to 125°C. The 929665-01-06-I operates from -40°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 105°C must use the TSW-106-23-S-D.

Q: How do the contact materials differ?

A: The TSW-106-23-S-D uses phosphor bronze contacts with tin-plated posts. The 929665-01-06-I uses copper alloy contacts with gold-plated posts. Both feature gold-plated mating surfaces.

Q: Is a current rating specified for both parts?

A: The TSW-106-23-S-D does not specify a current rating in the provided data. The 929665-01-06-I specifies 2.5A per contact.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TSW-106-23-S-D is ROHS3 compliant. The 929665-01-06-I is RoHS compliant. Both are REACH unaffected and carry MSL 1 moisture sensitivity levels.

Q: What is the packaging format?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging.
