Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on insulation material composition:

Category 1: PBT Insulation (Polybutylene Terephthalate) Parts TSW-108-07-L-D-001, TSW-108-07-L-D-003, TSW-108-07-L-D-004, TSW-108-07-L-D-007, TSW-108-07-L-D-008, TSW-108-07-L-D-014, and TSW-108-07-L-D-016 maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part, including insulation material, contact geometry, pitch, row spacing, temperature rating, and compliance certifications.

Category 2: LCP Insulation (Liquid Crystal Polymer) Part HTSW-108-07-L-D-002 differs in insulation material (LCP instead of PBT) and insulation color (Natural instead of Black). This part operates within the same temperature range and maintains equivalent contact configuration, pitch, and row spacing. The HTSW series designation indicates a variant within the Samtec header family.

All substitute parts share the following critical parameters with the main part:

• 16 positions, 2 rows
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Male pin contact type
• Through-hole solder termination
• Gold-plated mating contacts (10.0µin thickness)
• Tin-plated posts
• Phosphor bronze contact material
• -55°C to 125°C operating temperature
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• ROHS3 compliance
• Push-pull fastening type

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with modern manufacturing standards. Selection among TSW series variants (TSW-108-07-L-D-001, -003, -004, -007, -008, -014, -015, -016) is interchangeable from an electrical and mechanical standpoint, with differences limited to internal design variants not affecting connector function or interface compatibility.

The HTSW-108-07-L-D-002 variant introduces a material change from PBT to LCP insulation and a color change from Black to Natural. This substitution is valid where the application does not impose specific insulation material or color requirements. LCP provides enhanced dimensional stability and chemical resistance compared to PBT, while maintaining equivalent electrical performance and temperature rating.

All parts feature identical contact geometry, pitch spacing, and termination methods, ensuring direct functional equivalence in board-level applications. Inventory levels range from 656 to 964 units across the substitute options, supporting supply chain flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-108-07-L-D-005 be directly replaced with any of the listed substitute parts?

A: Yes, all TSW series variants (TSW-108-07-L-D-001, -003, -004, -007, -008, -014, -015, -016) are direct functional equivalents. The HTSW-108-07-L-D-002 is also functionally equivalent but uses LCP insulation instead of PBT and has a Natural color instead of Black.

Q: What is the difference between PBT and LCP insulation materials in these connectors?

A: Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). LCP offers superior dimensional stability and chemical resistance, while PBT is the standard material for the TSW series. Selection depends on application-specific environmental and mechanical requirements.

Q: Are the pitch and row spacing identical across all substitute parts?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing, ensuring mechanical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts designed for the TSW-108-07-L-D-005.

Q: Does insulation color affect electrical performance?

A: No. Insulation color is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical characteristics, contact resistance, or signal integrity. Selection between Black (TSW series) and Natural (HTSW series) is based on assembly documentation or visual identification requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all TSW series parts are ROHS3 compliant. The HTSW-108-07-L-D-002 is also ROHS3 compliant. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is 1 (Unlimited) for TSW variants and Not Applicable for the HTSW variant, both indicating low moisture sensitivity suitable for standard storage and handling.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. All parts are rated for continuous operation from -55°C to 125°C, supporting industrial and automotive applications within this temperature envelope.
