TSW-107-26-L-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TSW-107-26-L-D is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 14-position, 2-row connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features male pins with gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts. The product is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design requirements and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-107-26-L-D is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count (14 positions)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Insulation material (PBT-based)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The 3M 929665-09-07-I meets all critical substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical position counts, pitch specifications, mounting configurations, and core material properties. Variations in contact length, post finish, and operating temperature range are within acceptable tolerance for board-level interconnect applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 929665-09-07-I is a direct functional substitute for the discontinued TSW-107-26-L-D. Both connectors satisfy identical electrical and mechanical interface requirements for 14-position, 2.54mm pitch header applications.

The 929665-09-07-I offers the advantage of active product status with confirmed inventory availability (1497 pcs), ensuring supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and REACH/RoHS regulatory alignment.

The 929665-09-07-I operates within a narrower temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -55°C to 125°C). Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 105°C must evaluate this specification against design requirements. The 929665-09-07-I includes a 2.5A current rating specification, whereas the TSW-107-26-L-D does not provide this parameter.

Contact post length differs by 0.019" (0.48mm), and the 929665-09-07-I features gold-plated posts compared to tin plating on the TSW-107-26-L-D. These variations are compatible with standard PCB through-hole mounting and solder reflow processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M 929665-09-07-I directly replace the Samtec TSW-107-26-L-D in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (14), row configuration (2), mounting type (through-hole), and termination method (solder). The connectors are mechanically and electrically compatible for board-level interconnect applications.

Q: What are the differences in contact specifications between these parts?

A: The 929665-09-07-I has slightly longer mating contacts (0.235" vs 0.230") and post contacts (0.145" vs 0.126"). The 929665-09-07-I uses gold-plated posts; the TSW-107-26-L-D uses tin-plated posts. These differences do not affect standard PCB mounting or signal integrity.

Q: Are there temperature range limitations with the 929665-09-07-I?

A: The 929665-09-07-I operates from -40°C to 105°C, compared to the TSW-107-26-L-D range of -55°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation outside the -40°C to 105°C window must evaluate this specification against design requirements.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The TSW-107-26-L-D packaging is listed as unspecified. The 929665-09-07-I is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: Do both parts meet regulatory compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both connectors are UL94 V-0 rated, RoHS compliant, and REACH unaffected. Both carry EAR99 export classification.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The 929665-09-07-I specifies a 2.5A current rating. The TSW-107-26-L-D does not provide a current rating specification in available documentation.
