Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TSW-108-08-G-D-LL-LC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
Position Count & Row Configuration: 16 positions in 2 rows
Pitch Specifications: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
Mounting & Termination: Through-hole mounting with kinked pin solder termination
Electrical & Thermal Performance: Operating temperature range -55°C to 125°C
Contact Finish: Gold plating on mating surfaces
Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in insulation material (Polybutylene Terephthalate vs. Liquid Crystal Polymer) and series designation do not affect functional compatibility when all other parameters remain constant.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and full ROHS3 compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between TSW-108-08-G-D-LL-LC, HTSW-108-08-G-D-LL, and TSW-108-08-G-D-LL is based on availability and application-specific requirements:

TSW-108-08-G-D-LL-LC (Primary): 1016 units in stock. Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation. Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Recommended for standard applications with no specific insulation material constraints.

TSW-108-08-G-D-LL: 900 units in stock. Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation. Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Functionally equivalent to the primary part with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

HTSW-108-08-G-D-LL: 886 units in stock. Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation. Moisture Sensitivity Level Not Applicable. Alternative series designation with LCP material for applications requiring enhanced dimensional stability or specific material properties.

All three parts are suitable for board-to-board or cable interconnect applications across the full industrial temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HTSW-108-08-G-D-LL be used as a direct replacement for TSW-108-08-G-D-LL-LC?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, termination style, contact configuration, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is insulation material (LCP vs. PBT). This substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the difference between TSW-108-08-G-D-LL and TSW-108-08-G-D-LL-LC?

A: These parts are functionally equivalent. Both use PBT insulation, identical contact specifications, and the same operating temperature range. The suffix "-LC" in the main part number does not indicate a functional difference in the provided parameters.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting between these three parts?

A: No compatibility issues exist. All three parts maintain the same 16-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing. Through-hole mounting, kinked pin solder termination, and gold-plated contacts are consistent across all variants.

Q: Which part should be selected for moisture-sensitive applications?

A: TSW-108-08-G-D-LL-LC and TSW-108-08-G-D-LL both specify Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. HTSW-108-08-G-D-LL specifies MSL as Not Applicable, reflecting its LCP insulation material properties.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same compliance standards?

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