Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TSW-107-08-G-S-LL-LC-007 is determined by equivalence in the following critical parameters:

Connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), and number of positions (7)
Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Mounting method (Through Hole) and termination style (Kinked Pin, Solder)
Contact material (Phosphor Bronze) and mating finish (Gold)
Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
Compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0)

The HTSW-107-08-G-S-LL-007 meets all these criteria. Variations in insulation material (Polybutylene Terephthalate vs. Liquid Crystal Polymer) and insulation color do not affect functional compatibility in standard applications, as both materials satisfy the flammability and thermal requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TSW-107-08-G-S-LL-LC-007 and HTSW-107-08-G-S-LL-007 are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on material and availability considerations:

The TSW-107-08-G-S-LL-LC-007 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation with a Moisture Sensitivity Level of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. The HTSW-107-08-G-S-LL-007 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation with MSL not applicable. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the full -55°C to 125°C temperature range. Both are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 export classification.

Selection should be based on application-specific material requirements, inventory availability, and lead time considerations. Both parts are functionally equivalent for standard board-to-board and cable connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HTSW-107-08-G-S-LL-007 directly replace the TSW-107-08-G-S-LL-LC-007?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (7), contact geometry, termination method, and operating temperature range. The difference in insulation material (PBT vs. LCP) does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility in standard applications.

Q: What is the significance of the different insulation materials?

A: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) and Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) are both high-performance thermoplastics meeting UL94 V-0 flammability standards. LCP offers superior dimensional stability and lower moisture absorption. Material selection depends on specific application requirements for thermal cycling, chemical exposure, or dimensional precision.

Q: Are there differences in moisture sensitivity between these parts?

A: The TSW-107-08-G-S-LL-LC-007 is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity. The HTSW-107-08-G-S-LL-007 lists MSL as not applicable. Both parts can be stored and handled without moisture control measures.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this connector category?

A: Substitution is valid when parts maintain identical pitch, position count, contact type, mounting method, termination style, contact material, mating finish, and operating temperature range. Variations in insulation material and color are acceptable provided flammability and thermal ratings remain equivalent.
